Prepare the Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and boil them until they are soft. Let them cool down and then mash them in a bowl. You can use a fork to mash the potatoes.
-
Add Spices and Herbs: To the mashed potatoes, add turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, ginger paste, green chili paste, and chopped fresh coriander leaves. Mix everything well so that the spices are evenly distributed.

Make the Batter: In a separate bowl, mix chickpea flour and water to make a smooth batter. The batter should not be too thick or too thin.
