Ingredients
- 450g Plain Flour
- 225ml Water
- 3 tsp Salt
- 900g Potatoes
- 50g Spring Onions
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- For frying Vegetable Oil
Instructions
1
Put the baking flour and teaspoon of table salt in a mixing dish.
2
gradually adding as much moisture as is required.
3
toss together to form a stiff flour base.
4
Place the flour base on a wash work surface and massage for about 5-10 mins until the flour base is elastic, velvety and shiny.
5
Form the flour base into a ball, put a lid on with a damp cloth and set aside for at least half an hour.
6
strip and wash the potatoes and heat to boiling point them in salted moisture until soft.
7
filter off the moisture and mash thoroughly.
8
mix in the spring onions, table salt and black pepper.
9
Divide the flour base into 3 or 4 balls.
10
Roll out each ball as thinly as possible on a lightly floured surface (the thickness should be no more than 1.5mm - if the flour base is too thick the Bolani will be tough)
Take a round cutter of 13-15cm (I often use a cooking vessel lid or tid lid), and cut as many rounds as possible.
11
On each round spread 1-2 tablespoons of the mashed potato.
12
Moisten the edges of the flour base, fold over and seal shut.
13
The Bolani should be spread out on a lightly floured surface until ready to cooking vessel-fry.
14
bring to temperature enough veggie coat in a frying-cooking vessel and shallow cooking vessel-fry one or two Bolani at a time, browning on both sides.
15
Make sure to keep the fried Bolani toasty until all are finished, and dish up straight away.
