Grate 3 medium-sized potatoes finely and immediately place them in water to prevent browning.

Wash the grated potatoes 3-4 times until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Heat a pan and add 1 tablespoon of oil, then add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds and cook until they crackle.

Turn off the flame before adding water to avoid splattering, then add 1 cup of water and turn the flame back on.

Once the water is boiling, add 1 teaspoon of salt and the grated potatoes, squeezing out excess water before adding.

Mix well and add 1 teaspoon of Kashmiri chili powder, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon of garam masala, then cook for about 2 minutes.

After 2 minutes, check if the potatoes are 80% cooked and then turn off the flame, adding some fresh coriander and green chilies if desired.

Add 0.5 cup of wheat flour to the mixture and mix well in the hot water to avoid lumps.

Turn the flame back on and cook on medium heat until all moisture evaporates, as less moisture will make the snacks crispier.

Once the mixture is set like dough, transfer it to a plate and let it cool.

Prepare a coating batter by mixing 4-5 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon of chili flakes, fresh coriander, and salt to taste, gradually adding water to make a thick batter.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder for color, ensuring the batter is thick enough to coat the sticks well.

Once the dough has cooled, grease a chopping board with oil, roll out the dough into a rectangle shape about 1 inch thick, and cut into sticks.

Dip each stick into the prepared batter, ensuring they are well coated, and fry them in hot oil.

Fry on medium heat until golden and crispy on both sides.
