Crispy Semolina Finger Chips

It was a Sunday evening and I was busy baking a cake and had almost finished the icing and while I was cleaning the kitchen, my daughter called out to me and said Amma, I am hungry make something nice for me and my friends... Her friends had come to play with her that evening.  

 

I told her it would take some time for me to make something to eat for her.  While she was busy playing with her friends, I quickly started making a snack which I had jotted down from one of the recipe books... I made crispy semolina potato finger chips... Kids enjoyed the chips with mayo & tomato sauce.  When I gave some to my husband he said oh it's fried  stuff I just want 1 or 2 pieces... after eating 2 pieces he again walks into the kitchen and said I was joooooooking... can I get some more of the chips... Once in a while it's okay to eat junk food :).

I friend few more chips and they all enjoyed them piping hot.... I am sure you will also try and make this dish and get applauds from your family & friends.

Let's get to the recipe...

Ingredients :

Boiled Potatoes  mashed : 2

Semolina / Rava - 1 cup

Water - 1 cup

Salt to taste

Chaat Masala - 1.5  tsp

Oil to deep fry

Method :

Take a pan and add water.  Once the water boils add in salt and chaat masala 1 tsp.  Add the Semolina and cook till the mixture leaves the sides of the pan and forms a dough.  Remove from flame and keep it aside.  Add in the mashed potatoes to the cooked Semolina.  Add enough salt and remaining chaat masala and knead to a soft dough.  Take a plastic paper and transfer the dough and roll it like a thick roti.  Cut into thin strips like potato and deep fry in oil till golden brown.  You may sprinkle mixed herbs, chaat masala to this mixture and enjoy it with your favourite dip.

Make this for your kids Tiffin or for your evening snack or as starters for your party!!
