Packed potatoes

This is a favourite dish of mine that anyone who is brought up on the Kenyan Coast loves! Easy to make and ideal on a cold day with a cup of tea or coffee

Ingredients:

10 small potatoes boiled, peeled and cut into slices 1/2 inch thick
1 tsp chilli powder mixed with 1 tsp lime juice
1/2 cup gram flour
1/4 cup water
Salt to taste
Oil for frying

Method:

1. Take a slice of potato and smear a layer of chilli paste on it. Cover it with another slice of potato thereby making a "packed potato". In this manner you will get at least 10 depending on the size of your potatoes
2. Mix the gram flour with water and salt to make a batter which has a consistency similiar to what we use for making pakodas.
3. Heat oil for frying
4. Dip the "packed potatoes" into the gram flour and therefter fry them until golden brown
5. Serve with tomato ketchup or coconut chutney!

Cooking time:

10-15 minutes
