i have not used red color as i avoid any artificial colors in the food i make at home. to get a deeper red color i suggest adding kashmiri red chili powder.
don’t make a thin batter as we want the potatoes to be coated well with the batter.
don’t cook the potatoes. they should just be parboiled. just about 20% cooked so that they peel of easily and when dicing they don’t get mashed up or crumble.
