Potato Egg Patis (Debil)

Ingredients:

1. Potato smash (5 potatoes)
2. Boiled Eggs (3 eggs)
3. Salt & Red Chilli powder/diced green chillies
4. Jeera Powder (1 tea spoon)
5. Garam Masala Powder (1/4 tea spoon)
6. Curry leaves & Green Coriander leaves
7. Egg White (1 egg)
8. Rava (1 cup)


Method:

1. Take the smashed potato in a vessel and mix salt and Red Chilli powder or diced green chillies. Then add Jeera Powder and Garam Masala powder. Finally add chopped curry leaves and corainder to the mixture. Mix all the stated ingredients properly till it takes a dough-like shape.

2. Now take some mixture in your hand and spread it on your palm. Now keep a half-cut boiled egg in the middle of it as shown in the picture below.

3. Cover the half-cut boiled egg by the mixture; i.e. enclose the egg inside. This would form a potato/egg shaped patis. Make as many as you want as shown below.

4. Now dip the patis in egg-white and roll it in rava as shown below. The egg-white makes sure that the rava sticks to the patis and also provides a coating to the patis that prevents it from breaking while frying.

5. Now we are ready to deep-fry the patis in oil. Fry slowly in low flame. Be very gentle as the patis can break. Fry till the patis turns slight reddish brown.

6. Serve hot on a plate with tomato sauce and enjoy the mouth-watering tasty dish.
