Once they are peeled, cut the circular ends off the potatoes and then slice the remainder of the potatoes to match the tindora.
- Add the oil, besan, and spices to a large bowl and then mix well. Next, add the tindora and potatoes to the bowl, coat them well with the mixture, and then toss them into the air fryer basket.
- Set the air fryer for 10 minutes at 375 F, making sure to shake the basket once before the timer goes off.
