Potatoes are rich in complex carbohydrates, providing a sustained source of energy to fuel your body and daily activities.
The blend of spices like turmeric, coriander, and amchur not only adds a delicious tangy and savory flavor but also contains various antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds.
Potatoes are a good source of potassium, an essential mineral that plays a key role in maintaining fluid balance, nerve signals, and muscle contractions.
A single serving of Tuk Patata (approximately 140g) contains around 250-300 calories, primarily from the potatoes (carbohydrates) and the oil absorbed during deep-frying.
Tuk Patata is a deep-fried snack, so it is high in calories and fat and should be enjoyed in moderation. The potatoes provide energy and some nutrients, and the spices have health benefits, but it is best considered an occasional treat rather than a health food.
The most common reasons for soggy Tuk Patata are: 1) The oil was not hot enough during the second fry. 2) The pan was overcrowded, which lowers the oil temperature. 3) The potatoes were over-boiled and absorbed too much water.
Yes, you can make a healthier version in an air fryer. After boiling and pressing the potatoes, brush them with a little oil and air fry at 200°C (400°F) for 10-12 minutes. Press them again, brush with more oil, and air fry for another 8-10 minutes until golden and crisp. The texture will be slightly different from the deep-fried version but still delicious.
Starchy potatoes like Russet, Idaho, or King Edward are ideal. Their low moisture and high starch content result in a fluffy interior and a perfectly crispy exterior when fried.
Store leftover Tuk Patata in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat and regain crispiness, place them in a single layer in an air fryer or a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for 5-7 minutes. Avoid reheating in a microwave, as it will make them soft.
