Instructions
1
2
Prepare the masala
Dry roast the red chillies and peanuts for a couple of minutes. Now grind the dried red chillies first into a fine dust. Now, add the roasted peanuts, garlic and 2 tsp of oil and grind it into a coarse paste. Keep this batata vada masala aside.
3
Apply masala on the potatoes
Smear some of the masala paste on one half and then place the other half back on it. Press it gently to make both halves stick. Repeat with the rest of the potatoes.
4
Prepare the batter
Now prepare the batata vada or potato fritter batter by whisking the besan or gram flour with salt and water. Add the water gradually as we do not want a runny batter. It should be like a pancake batter in terms of consistency.
5
Frying
Heat some oil in a pan. Now using a fork, dip the prepared stuffed potatoes in the batter, one by one. Roll them in and then drop them in the hot oil. Keep the heat on medium flame. Turn them over in the oil till they turn golden-brown before taking them out.
6
Serve it
Serve vada immediately.

Health Goals Suitability
Weight Loss
At just 174.6 kcal per serving, this is an excellent choice for weight management.
Diabetes
Moderate glycemic index (GI: 62). The starchy ingredients raise the glycemic load — reduce portion or pair with protein-rich sides. Adding a fiber-rich side dish can help moderate the blood sugar response.
Muscle Gain
Low protein content (4.6g per serving) — not sufficient alone for muscle building. Combine with high-protein sides like paneer, eggs, chicken, dal, or a protein shake to reach 25-30g protein per meal.
Heart Health
Low cholesterol (0.7mg) and low saturated fat (2.2g) make this heart-friendly. Anti-inflammatory ingredients benefit overall heart health. Contains heart-healthy fats. Low sodium content is ideal for blood pressure management.
PCOS
Moderate-to-high GI (62) can spike insulin — Women with PCOS should pair this with fiber-rich vegetables and a protein source to improve the insulin response. Consider replacing refined ingredients with whole grains or millets.
Thyroid
No goitrogenic ingredients — generally safe for thyroid conditions.

Diabetes

Recipe Modifications
Lower fat
Reduce oil to 1 teaspoon and use an air fryer or non-stick pan. Steaming vegetables before adding retains flavor with less fat.
Boost protein
Add 50g paneer, a boiled egg, or a side of sprouted moong dal. Stirring in 1 tbsp of peanut butter also adds 4g protein.
Lower glycemic load
Replace refined flour (maida) with whole wheat atta, or swap white rice with brown rice or millets like jowar/bajra.
Make diabetes-friendly
Replace potato with cauliflower or bottle gourd. Add a squeeze of lemon — the acidity lowers glycemic response.
Meal prep friendly
Urulaikizhangu Poondu Batta Vada stores well for 2-3 days refrigerated. Reheat on stovetop for best texture. Prepare ingredients in advance for quick weeknight cooking.
Common Mistakes
Using too much oil or ghee
Why it matters: Excess oil can double the calorie content without adding nutritional value.
Fix: Measure oil with a tablespoon instead of pouring freely. 1 tbsp = 120 kcal.
Not measuring serving size
Why it matters: The nutrition values are for 1 standard serving. Eating 2-3x the serving means 2-3x the kcal (349.2-523.9 kcal).
Fix: Use the Hint app to scan and log the exact portion you eat for accurate tracking.
Pairing with another high-GI food
Why it matters: Eating rice with another starchy dish doubles the glycemic load, causing sharp blood sugar spikes.
Fix: Choose one carb source per meal. Pair with roti instead of rice, or add a protein-rich side.
