Batata kisacha pola
Hash brown potatoes - Marathi style!
Tapioca pearls, a.k.a. Sabudana, are available in Indian grocery store. I used the ‘regular’ variety but can be replaced with ‘instant’ sabudana.
Ingredients:
Potatoes grated - 2 large
Sabudana soaked - 2 tsp.
Green chilli chopped - 2
Salt - 1 tsp
Oil/ Ghee - for shallow frying (2-3 tsp)
Method:
Mix and mash potatoes, sabudana, chilli and salt.
Heat a flat non-stick pan, then add potato mix and flatten it (like a pizza).
Add oil/ghee on sides, cover and cook for about five minutes.
When ‘pola’ turns brown, it is ready to eat.
Serve with a slice of lemon, yogurt or buttermilk.
Makes two servings
