Hash Brown

          Hash Brown is a very popular American breakfast that is served in many eateries worldwide. It is loved by most of us I'am sure, just like me. So here it is - homemade Hash Brown with Indian flavour. I added roasted cumin powder, besides other basic ingredients. 

          You can enjoy them as snacks with ketchup, green chutney, hummus or mayo. They can also be served as a patty in sandwiches, burgers or rolled in parathas / rotis topped with cheese spread / grated cheese, onion, tomato and lettuce.

• 2-3 potatoes
• 1-2 tbsp. rice flour
• salt to taste
• 1/2 tsp. roasted cumin powder
• 1-2 fresh red / green chilies, chopped
• 1-2 tbsp. coriander leaves, chopped
• cream cheese / grated cheese as required
• some sev to garnish
• oil to shallow fry

          Prick the potatoes all over and pressure cook for one whistle. Set aside to cool. Peel off the skin and mash well.

          Mix with the salt, fresh chilies, coriander leaves, rice flour and cumin powder. Shape in any form you desire and refrigerate for some time.

          Heat oil in a pan and shallow fry on both sides till they turn brown in colour. Drain on a kitchen towel.

           Spread cream cheese and sprinkle some sev over it. Serve as a tea-time snack or as an appetizer with tomato ketchup / green chutney.
