Ingredients
- 500 grams potatoes
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped
- 1 quantity green chili, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons cornflour
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Boil the potatoes until tender. Once cooked, allow them to cool slightly, then peel and mash them smoothly in a large bowl.
Step 2
Add the finely chopped coriander leaves, green chili, grated ginger, garam masala, cumin powder, red chili powder, lemon juice, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes.
Step 3
Mix well to ensure the spices and herbs are evenly distributed.
Step 4
Add the cornflour to the potato mixture and mix thoroughly. This helps bind the ingredients together effectively.
Step 5
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a flat round patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 6
Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot enough, place the patties in the skillet in batches if necessary, ensuring they do not touch.
Step 8
Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until the patties turn golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to flip them gently.
Step 9
Remove the Aloo Tikkis from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve hot, garnished with extra coriander leaves and a side of mint chutney or yogurt for dipping, if desired.
