Batate Phodi - Potatoes coated with Semolina and Tawa Fried

I can eat any number of these any given time... They take long time to be made as they are slow cooked on tawa but they disappear in no time. This is one of my comfort foods when served with Rice and Dal, even on its own straight off the hot tawa. My Bong family opine that this can't be had as a side with Rice. But we amchis like anything fried with Rawa coat!

Ingredients:

Potatoes - 2, sliced

Turmeric powder - a tsp

Red chilli powder - as per taste (optional)

Asafoetida powder- a pinch

Salt - to taste

Rawa / Suji / Semolina - required to coat the potato slices

Oil - 2-3 tbsp

Method:

1. Marinate the potatoes with turmeric powder, red chilli powder, asafoetida and salt.

2. Coat the potato slices with rawa and place on hot tawa. (on low flame)

3. Drizzle oil all over and cover with lid.

4. After 3-4 mins, invert all the potato slices and drizzle little more oil.

5. Remove from tawa when the slices are cooked.
