Onion bajjii & flavoured potato sticks

A lovely snack /appetizer pallette for the guests, the onion bhajji with flavoured and baked  potato sticks. I have used the normal store brought frozen potato sticks here. Served with herbal dip on the side....perfect! Its sure to be liked by kids and adults alike.

Off to the recipe...

For Herbal Mayo dip/spread (mint-coriander chutney mixed with light mayonnaise) Makes a lovely dip and a spead for sandwiches as well. You need to take...

½ cup coriander leaves
¼ cup mint leaves
1 cloves of garlic
3 tbsp coconut
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 green chillie
Salt to taste
Light mayonnaise

Blend all the ingredients adding little water to a smooth consistency.Mix with mayonnaise.
For onion Bhajji
2 onions sliced
4-5 curry leaves finely chopped
2 tbsp coriander leaves (chopped)
Salt to taste
4 tbsp Gram Flour
2 green chilly finely chopped
Little water to bind them

Mix all listed ingredient s and add little water to make it crisp and take one spoon of the batter, deep fry in oil in small batches. Drain and keep aside.

  

Flavored Potato Sticks

Store bought frozen potato sticks
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
1 tsp pepper powder
1 tsp mixed herbs
2 tsp olive oil
Salt to taste

Marinate the potato sticks with all the above ingredients
Set aside for 15 mins and then bake in pre-heated oven at 180 deg C till crisp. That it. Serve hot.

Got any leftovers? You can very well make the dip as a spead, the bhajji and the potatoes as the filling and wrap it round with a tortilla or chapathi to make a healthy sandwich.

Procedure
Heat the tortilla on a tawa for 1-2 mins on either side. I have here used the "cilantro flavored low fat healthy" variety of  tortillas.
Take it on a plate and spread the herbal mayo evenly.
Then place the fried onion bhajjis and a layer of baked potato sticks in the centre.
A lovely wrap is ready !
