Stuffed Farali Patties

Stuffed Farali Patties make for a great fasting food during Navratri.  And more so on this drizzly, rainy day like today.   This is also a very popular street food in Mumbai.  Loved by everyone, eaten during fasts, and at other times, we just find excuses to make and eat it 🙂

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wishing you all a very Happy Navratri, Ugadi and Gudi Padwa.  A very happy New year to those celebrating today.    May you and your loved ones be blessed on this auspicious occasion of Navratri.

Ingredients

For outer layer:

• ▢ 4 Potatoes medium sized
• ▢ 3 tablespoons Arrowroot flour
• ▢ Salt – to taste can use black salt (sanchar) instead
• ▢ Oil or Ghee (clarified butter) – for deep or shallow frying.

For stuffing:

• ▢ 1 tablespoon Cashew nuts chopped
• ▢ 2 tablespoons Peanuts roasted ad coarsely ground
• ▢ 2 tablespoons Coconut grated
• ▢ 10 sprigs Coriander leaves chopped
• ▢ 1 inch Ginger root
• ▢ 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
• ▢ Salt – to taste can use black salt (sanchar) instead
• ▢ 1 Green chili (optional)
• ▢ ½ teaspoon Sugar (optional)

Instructions

• Boil potatoes. Peel, and grate. The grating is very important instead of just mashing, as it will create a nice smooth, homogeneous mixture needed for the patties.
• Add salt, arrowroot flour. Mash and mix well. Keep it aside.
• Make a paste of ginger, green chilies, and add salt, sugar (optional), lemon juice.
• Take the chopped cashew nuts, ground peanuts, grated coconut, ginger & green chili paste, chopped coriander in a bowl. Mix well. This is the stuffing mixture. Keep it aside.
• Make golf ball sized balls from the potato mixture. Flatten it in the palm and put ½ to 1 tablespoon full of stuffing mixture on top of it. Bring together the edges of the potato patties, seal it,  and form either into a round ball or a flattened patty. The round ball shape works well for deep frying, whereas the flattened patty shape works well for shallow frying. You can also roll the patties in some arrowroot flour, though I did not find it necessary. Maybe try one and each way and see which one you like better.
• At this point, either heat oil and deep fry the patties or heat a griddle, drizzle some oil/ghee and shallow fry the patties on each side until nicely golden brown.
• Enjoy with green chutney!

Notes

• For fasting purposes, please check to see the ingredients are per your fasting restrictions, before using.
• For the purpose of calculating nutrition info, I have assumed the patties will absorb 2 tablespoons of oil when deep frying.
