Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 0.5 cup Green peas
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 tablespoons Chickpea flour (besan)
- 1 inch Ginger
- 1 small Green chili
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Oil
Directions
Step 1
Boil the potatoes in a large pot of water until they are fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly before peeling.
Step 2
Mash the boiled potatoes in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
Step 3
Boil the green peas in a small pot of water for about 5 minutes or until tender. Drain and add to the mashed potatoes.
Step 4
Finely chop the onion, ginger, green chili, and cilantro leaves. Add them to the potato mixture.
Step 5
Add chickpea flour, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt to the bowl. Mix well to combine all the ingredients into a uniform dough.
Step 6
Divide the mixture into 10-12 equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 7
Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place 3-4 patties in the pan, depending on pan size, ensuring they don't touch.
Step 8
Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining patties, adding more oil if necessary.
Step 9
Serve the Aloo Tikki hot, garnished with additional cilantro, with your favorite chutney or sauce on the side.
