Ohhhhh delicious potato balls with yummy filling....Superb clicks nd presentation .....
ReplyDeleteThis was very nice. Spicy green peas stuffing ...yummy. But while frying, some of my balls were broken. so it was not that golden color(as in snap).
ReplyDeleteSuvarna...did you add the bread crumbs? They really help in keeping the potato from breaking in the oil and also with the golden brown color.I used the 'powdered' variety of bread crumbs.
ReplyDeleteI did add. Bread crumbs were prepared by me at by just grinding toast in mixer (Once shown in Marathi show MAJWANI).
