6. 1/2 cup Besan atta
7. 1/2 ts. lal mirch (Red chili powder)

Mash the potatoes with hands, this will leave some larger chunks and leave a thicker consistency.
Add dhaniya seeds, zeera, red crushed pepper, and 1/2 lemon to mixture.
Make little balls (about the size of kofta, about 1.5 inch diameter).
Mix besan, water, lal mirch, salt mixture (for coating). *NOTE* Add enough water to make a thin pancake batter consistency.
