Peel onions and potatoes and cut them into 2-3 mm thick rounds and keep them ready in a plate.
-
Add besan, rice flour, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, ajwain, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl.

Slowly start adding some water and make a smooth batter. Do not make the batter runny or you will not be able to quote it on the sliced vegetables.

Dip sliced potatoes in the batter and fry them in the oil till they turn golden on both sides. Next fry sliced onions dipped in the batter till they turn golden brown.
-
Serve it hot with some tomato ketchup or Mint chutney.
Really appreciate those “recipe in progress” shots since I’m always convinced I’m doing it wrong. I need visuals. Pardon my ignorance but is chat masala a ground spice mixture? Like garam masala? And, you know, anytime you wanna post that mint chutney recipe I’m all eyes 😉
Thank you for your kind comment. Yes, chaat masala is a spice mix especially used to make street food, snacks etc. I already have mint chutney on my blog. Maybe did not link it properly 🙂
