Steps

1

Take all the ingredients such as potato, onion, green chilli, turmeic powder, chilli powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder, ginger garlic paste, coriander leaves and salt in a mixing bowl.

Mix everything well to make a dough.

Make small balls of the potato mix/ dough.

Gently flatten each ball and make a small well/ hole in the centre of the patty. Keep aside.
5

In a small bowl add all purpose flour, corn flour, salt and water to make a thick paste/ batter.
6

Now gently dip each potato nest in the flour liquid mix and then coat with the vermicelli. Repeat the procedure until all the nests are coated in same manner.

Heat oil in a pan. Once hot, gently add in the prepared nests and fry until golden brown.
