Ingredients

  • 2 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup finely chopped carrots
  • ¼ cup chopped green onions
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp red chili powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mixture: In a bowl, combine mashed potatoes, carrots, green onions, cilantro, flour, salt, pepper, chili powder, and garlic powder.
  2. Shape the sticks: Mix until a firm dough forms. Transfer to a piping bag or shape into long, thin sticks by hand.
  3. Heat the oil: Warm oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
  4. Fry: Carefully add the sticks in batches and fry for 3–5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy.
  5. Drain and serve: Remove and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Serving Tips

  • Serve hot with garlic mayo, ketchup, or mint chutney.
  • Add grated cheese for a cheesy variation.
  • For extra crispiness, chill the shaped sticks for 15 minutes before frying.
