Ingredients

• 4 medium Potatoes
• 1 small Green chili
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Amchur (dry mango powder)
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
• 2 tablespoons Besan (chickpea flour)
• 2 tablespoons Oil

Directions

Step 1

Boil the potatoes until they are tender. Once cooked, peel and mash them in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Finely chop the green chili and ginger. Add them to the mashed potatoes.

Step 3

Add coriander powder, cumin seeds, amchur, turmeric powder, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes.

Step 4

Chop the fresh coriander leaves and add them to the mixture. Mix everything well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Add the besan to the potato mixture to bind it together. This will help in forming and holding the shape of the tikkis.

Step 6

Divide the potato mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty or 'tiki'.

Step 7

Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.

Step 8

Place the tikkis in the pan and shallow fry them until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Step 9

Remove the tikkis from the pan and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the tikkis hot as a snack or appetizer with a side of mint chutney or yogurt dip.
