Instructions
1. Prepare the Potato Mixture:
First, boil the potatoes until they are soft.
Then, peel and mash them in a large bowl.
Next, add grated ginger, chopped green chili, fresh coriander leaves, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, ajwain, black salt, chaat masala, and regular salt to the mashed potatoes.
Mix everything well and set it aside.
2. Prepare the Filling:
In a separate bowl, combine roasted and coarsely ground peanuts with sugar, red chili powder, roasted cumin powder, coriander powder, fresh coriander leaves, and salt. Mix until it forms a smooth filling.
3. Form the Pattices:
Now, divide the potato mixture into small balls.
Flatten each ball slightly and place a spoonful of the peanut filling in the center.
Carefully seal the edges around the filling and shape it into a round or oval patty, making sure the filling is well-sealed inside.
4. Coat and Fry:
Next, mix arrowroot flour or sago flour with water to make a thick batter.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Dip each patty into the batter to coat it evenly.
Fry the patties in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.
5. Serve:
Finally, serve the Farali Pattice hot with green chutney or yogurt on the side. Enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Farali Pattice
To achieve the right texture, make sure to fry your patties on medium heat for a crispy exterior and a soft, flavorful filling.
Next, for the potato mixture, get the consistency just right—not too wet or dry. Adjust the flour and ensure the potatoes are well mashed for a smooth mix.
For sealing the patties, press the edges firmly to avoid any filling leakage. Pro tip: chill the patties for 30 minutes before frying to help them set and stay intact!
