Frying Street Food Recipe: Know How To Prepare Mumbai-Style Potato Twisters

Mumbai-style potato twisters are a delightful street food that captures the vibrant essence of Mumbai’s culinary scene. Know the recipe here:

Step 1

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and peel them. Keep a bowl of water handy to prevent the potatoes from browning.

Step 2

Using a spiral cutter or a sharp knife, make spiral cuts along the length of each potato. The cuts should be thin and close together, creating a twisted shape.

Step 3

Insert a wooden skewer or stick through the center of each potato twister, starting from the wider end.

Step 4

Heat oil in a deep frying pan or kadai over medium heat. Make sure there is enough oil to submerge the potato twisters.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the potato twisters in the oil. Fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy. It should take about 5-7 minutes. You can fry them in batches if necessary.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the potato twisters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together the red chili powder, chaat masala, black salt, dry mango powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.

Step 8

Sprinkle the spice mixture generously over the potato twisters, making sure to coat them evenly. You can also sprinkle some additional lemon juice if desired.

Step 9

Serve the Mumbai-style potato twisters immediately with lemon wedges on the side. They are best enjoyed hot and crispy.
