ALOO TIKKIS (Potato cutlets)
Spice up your Iftar meals with these crispy Aloo Tikkis, made with potatoes,spices and herbs shaped into the perfect patties. They pair well with a classic samosa/chana chaat, lamb biryani or even on its own.
- 4 Large potatoes (peeled, cubed and boiled)
- 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2-3 Green chillies (minced)
- 4-5 Garlics (minced)
- 1/4 cup Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Chilli flakes
- 1 tbsp Basaar
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Chaat masala
- Oil (for shallow frying)
- Mint chutney & Yogurt sauce
- Peel, cube and cut your potatoes into 1 inch cubes.
- In a large pot combine water, salt and potatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to maintain a steady simmer. Cook until potatoes are completely tender and offer little resistance when pierced with a paring knife, about 15 minutes.
- Strain potatoes and let drain, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to medium mixing bowl and set aside until cooled.
- To you potatoes add, breadcrumbs, green chillies, garlic, cornstarch, chilli flakes, basaar, turmeric, salt and chaat masala.
- Using a potato masher or fork, mash potatoes roughly, breaking up any large pieces; do not overmash, as you want some smaller unmashed potato bits in the final mix.
- Using clean hands, roll 3 tablespoons potato mixture into a ball between your palms, packing the mixture together much as you would a snowball.
- Flatten ball between the palms of your hands to form a puck, making sure that there are no cracks around the edges.
- Repeat with the remaining potato mixture; you should have between 12-15 medium sized patties.
- Let patties cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
- In a pan over medium heat, shallow fry and cook your patties until golden brown in colour, about 2 minutes on each side.
- Allow patties to cool slightly before serving, about 5 minutes.
Serve with any main meal of your choice (but really biryani)
