Batatyacha Kees- Sun dried grated potato salli/ sev – a quick and easy Instant snack recipe

Batatyacha Kees/ Potato salli/ aloo sev – As soon as the Holi season was about to come every one start making papad, kurdai ,chips and sev etc. This is the perfect season to make and store yearly supply of all the sundried items. As the sun is not too strong and we can easily sit in direct sunlight for few hours to and make these items and then dry them in the sun for a whole day or for few days.

My Mother and grand mother used to make big batches of aloo and rice papad , vadi,kachri and kurdai and so many different and colorful items regularly for few days before Holi. I always accompany them and helps them in small chores like spreading papad ,peeling potatoes etc.. Since then I love making these items every year and religiously making since now. Now my little grandson Anirudh also loves eating home made papad and chips , feeling so happy now 🙂

How to make Batatyacha kees/ Potato salli

There are 2 methods of making aloo sev/ batatyacha kees/ Aloo salli.

1-One is the traditional way in which raw potatoes are peeled and grated . Then the grated potatoes are washed 2-3 times to remove the starch and then blanched in boiling water. Now the water is drained completely and then spread on a cotton cloth or greased plastic sheet and kept in direct sunlight to dry completely for 2-3 days .

2- This is the simple and easy way- First boil the potato in salted water . be careful not to over cook the potato. they should be just done. Now peel the potatoes. spread a greased plastic sheet or a cotton sheet in sunlight. now using a thick grater directly grate the potato over the sheet. make sure to spread in a single layer. let them completely dry in sun for 2-3 days before storing.

How to store and serve these Potato sev/ potato salli

After the kees sun dry completely then store in a tight container and then you can easily store and use it for a year. You can deep fry these potato salli in hot oil and then sprinkle red chili powder, mango powder or chaat masala. If you are using for fasting then add pepper powder.
