Rajgiri batata vada- Crisp and delicious potato and Amaranth flour dumplings/Vrat ka khana

Rajgiri batata vada – Most of the people in North India fast during Janmashtmi, Navaratri and Ekadashi and eat only satvik food as grains and pulses are prohibited during fasting .

Sabudana(sago), Singhoraka atta(Water chestnut flour), kuttu(buck wheat flour), Sama(Barnyarmillet ),Rajgiri atta, Ramdana are used  for making patties, poori and pilafs.

Only some selected spices can be used during fasting i.e sendha namak(rock salt),pepper powder salt),mango powder,asafoetida and cumin seeds.But it may vary from region to region.

Usually batata vada is made with gram flour /besan but during fasting I make Rajgiri ka batata vada with Rajgiri atta/kuttu atta or some times with singhora ka atta. It depends on the availability of the flour.

I have posted few more fasting recipes in my blog as vrat ka khana

    Thanks for your quick response maám. Will keep following your blog. EVen I started one a little while ago, but due to work commitments, I could continue my work on that. I am actually a Tamilian married to a Kannadiga and staying in Andhra Pradesh. 🙂 Can share my recipes with you from all these three places, through mail, if that is ok with you.

    Hi Renu-if you are making this batata vada for fasting days then you can use kuttu ka aata /buckwheat flour,singhora ka aata/water chestnut flour or any flour which you normally use on fasting days,but if you are not fasting then use gram flour/besan.
