Method:

1. Pressure cook potatoes for atleast 5 whistles so that its soft,Peel off the skin and cool down.In a mixer add the potatoes and grind it without adding water to a smooth paste.In a mixing bowl add besan flour,potato paste,chat masala powder,red chilli powder,required salt and pepper powder.I forgot to add turmeric powder so added in the next step.
   
2. Add water little by little and knead to a soft dough.Take your omapodi / idiyappam press.
   
3. Grease the murukku press with little oil, then fill the dough and start pressing.Press it directly into oil, do not overcrowd.Cook till the shh sound stops and is slightly golden.Remove it using a perforated laddle.Repeat the same till the entire dough finishes.
   
4. Drain in tissue paper.Slightly crush sev with your hands so that it breaks, add chat masala powder.Mix well.
   

Cool down and then store in an airtight container.

My Notes:

• I used the press which has holes slightly bigger hole than our idiyappam press as aloo bhujia is a bit thicker than our traditional omapodi.
• Potato Sev cooks faster so be careful , it gets browned quickly.
• Cook in low medium flame and regulate heat as and when it goes high / low.
