Ingredients
- Boiled mashed potato3 cups
- Grated cheese1/2 cup
- Chopped coriander and chilli3 tbsp
- Cumin and chaat masala1 tsp each
- Breadcrumbs1 cup
- Cornflour slurry1/2 cup
Method
Season the mash
Mix the dry mashed potato with the grated cheese, chopped coriander and chilli, cumin and chaat masala into a firm, well-seasoned dough. Keep the potato dry, or the croquettes turn soft and soggy.
Shape into logs
Roll tablespoon portions into smooth cylinders with slightly tapered ends. Keeping them the same size means every croquette cooks through and browns at the same time.
Coat the shell
Dip each log in the cornflour slurry, then roll firmly in breadcrumbs until fully covered. A second pass through the crumbs builds a thicker shell for that extra crackly bite.
Chill to set
Chill the coated logs for 15 min so the crust firms up and holds together. This short rest is the key to a clean, sealed shell that does not crack open in the basket.
Air-fry till crisp
Spray the logs with oil and air-fry at 200°C for 13 min, turning halfway, until deeply golden and crunchy. Serve hot with your favourite dip while the shell is at its crispest.
