About Aloo 65 Recipe
To begin with first quickly cook potatoes just for 1 whistle. Next prepare a marinade using cornflour, maida, rice flour together with kashmiri red chilli powder, pepper powder , garam masala powder, ginger garlic paste, salt, oil and water. Make a thickish batter and add boiled potatoes to it. Mix well. Heat oil in medium high flame add the potatoes in batches, deep fry them until golden brown. Fry curry leaves and add it. Sprinkle chat masala powder and serve hot! 1.Why is my aloo 65 not crisp? If the proportions of the flour is not correct, then iyt may not turn crispy. Another reason is if you deep fry in low flame it will turn soggy so make sure to fry only in medium high flame. 2.Why is it drinking too much oil? If water content is more then it may drink oil so make sure to prepare the batter slightly thick. Frying in low flame also leads to oily aloo 65. Also drain water well after boiling potatoes. 3.Why is the batter not coating the potato? If the batter is not of perfect constency then it will not coat the veggie well. If the batter is too thick it will be dry and will not be able to coat. So sprinkle water and mix it. 4.I don’t have kashmiri red chilli powder, What can I do? It is ok to use normal chilli powder but reduce it to 1/2 tablespoon. You may not ge the exact color but tastewise no difference. 5.I dont want to deep fry, Can I tawa fry? Yes you can use a iron tawa add little oil , flip over and fry well. It may not have the same crispness as deep fried ones but it will still taste good.
Variations

Expert Tips
Make sure to prepare the batter consistency perfecly otherwise it will turn soggy and not crispy. Also fry in medium high flame, adjust flame accordingly. I had baby potatoes so used them, you can use regular potatoes too. I havent used color instead added a little more of kashmiri red chilli powder. Do not overcook potatoes, it should only be parboiled.
