furthermore, some easy tips and variation for the crispy potato fingers recipe. firstly, the potatoes can be either pressure cooked in a cooker or boiled in a open vessel as per your preference. but once cooked remove them immediately and do not keep those to absorb water and moisture. secondly, i have used upma rava or medium rava, but you can also use fine or thick rava if you do not have access to medium one. alternatively you can also use bread crumbs or even crushed oats in the place of semolina. lastly, these fingers can also be pan-fried or shallow fried or baked if you have oil concerns. i personally recommend the deep frying option but not a mandatory option.
