Chef's Notes
Do not skip the baking soda in the batter, as it provides that legendary airy crispness you find on the streets of Mumbai.
Pro Tip
Keep your frying oil at a steady medium-high heat so the besan coating puffs up instantly without soaking up excess oil.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If your oil is too cold, the batter will instantly dissolve into a greasy soup instead of forming a majestic golden shell around your potatoes.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the potato cross the road? To get thoroughly mashed, dipped in batter, and deep-fried into local stardom because raw potatoes have zero ambition.
The Culinary Science
Baking soda reacts with moisture in the batter to release carbon dioxide bubbles, creating a light and lacy batter when exposed to hot oil.
