you can add ajwain and asafoetida (hing) if you want in the batter.
for a gluten free version, use gluten free asafoetida.
slice potatoes thinly, but not as thin as we make for potato wafers.
for a spicy version, you can add some red chilli powder or increase the number of green chilies.
you can also add some garam masala powder if you want.
