Prep: 20 min | Cook: 15 min | Total: 45 min

Cost: $1.02 total, $0.51 per serving

Ingredients

  • 175 g Potato (boiled, peeled and mashed)
  • 1 cup Rice Flour (sifted)
  • 0.5 cup Corn Starch
  • 1 tsp Salt (preferably rock salt (sendha namak))
  • 2 tbsp Water (adjust to achieve a smooth paste)
  • 2 tbsp Corn Flour (for dusting before rolling)
  • 2 cup Vegetable Oil (for shallow frying, use a neutral oil with high smoke point)
  • 0.5 tsp Chaat Masala (homemade or store‑bought, adds tangy flavor)

Instructions

  1. Boil and Mash the Potato

    Place the peeled potato in a saucepan, cover with water and boil until tender (about 10 minutes). Drain and mash thoroughly with a masher.

    Time: PT12M

  2. Create a Smooth Paste

    Transfer the mashed potato to a blender jar, add 2 tbsp water and blend until the mixture is completely smooth and free of lumps.

    Time: PT5M

  3. Add Dry Ingredients and Knead

    Into the smooth potato paste add 1 cup rice flour, 0.5 cup corn starch, 1 tsp salt and 2 tbsp corn flour for dusting. Mix with a spatula, then knead by hand until a smooth, non‑sticky dough forms.

    Time: PT7M

  4. Divide and Roll the Dough

    Divide the dough into two equal portions. Dust each portion with a thin layer of corn flour, then roll each portion as thinly as possible (about 1‑2 mm) using a thin rolling pin.

    Time: PT10M

  5. Cut into Chip Shapes

    Using a round cutter, glass rim, or small knife, cut the rolled sheet into small circles (or any shape you prefer). Place the cut pieces on a plate, cover with a clean cloth and let rest for 5 minutes.

    Time: PT5M

  6. First Fry (Pre‑Fry)

    Heat 1‑2 cup oil in a frying pan over medium‑low flame. When the oil shimmers, gently place a few chips in the oil and fry for 15‑20 seconds, turning once. Remove with a slotted spoon and set on paper towels.

    Time: PT5M

    Temperature: Medium‑Low

  7. Rest After First Fry

    Lay the pre‑fried chips on a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to cool and release surface moisture.

    Time: PT5M

  8. Second Fry (Crisping)

    Increase the heat to medium. Fry the rested chips again for 1.5‑2 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels.

    Time: PT5M

    Temperature: Medium

  9. Season

    Transfer the hot chips to a large bowl, sprinkle 0.5 tsp chaat masala (or to taste) and toss gently to coat evenly.

    Time: PT2M

  10. Serve or Store

    Serve immediately for maximum crunch, or let cool completely and store in an airtight container.

    Time: PT2M
