Ingredients

• 2 cups Red kidney beans (rajma), cooked and drained
• 1 large Potato, boiled and mashed
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 1 Green chili, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ginger-garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Cornflour (or breadcrumbs) for binding
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for shallow frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked red kidney beans using a fork or a potato masher until a coarse mixture is formed. Ensure some texture remains for bite.

Step 2

Add the boiled and mashed potato to the bowl with the kidney beans and mix well to combine.

Step 3

Stir in the finely chopped onion, green chili, ginger-garlic paste, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt.

Step 4

Add the chopped fresh coriander leaves and mix thoroughly. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 5

Add the cornflour or breadcrumbs to the mixture for binding. Mix until you can form a dough-like consistency.

Step 6

Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into flat, round patties or tikkis, about half an inch thick.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat and drizzle about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

Step 8

Place the tikkis on the hot pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Add additional oil as needed for frying the remaining batches.

Step 9

Remove the tikkis from the pan and rest on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve hot with green chutney, tamarind chutney, or ketchup as desired.
