Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 0.5 cup green peas
- 0.5 cup chickpea flour (besan)
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 medium green chili
- 1 inch ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons oil
Instructions
Peel and boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and allow them to cool slightly.
In the meantime, boil the green peas for about 5 minutes until soft. Drain and set aside.
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, mash them in a large mixing bowl using a potato masher or a fork.
Finely chop the cilantro and the green chili. Grate the ginger.
Add the chickpea flour, boiled green peas, chopped cilantro, green chili, grated ginger, ground cumin, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt to the mashed potatoes.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until you have a uniform dough-like mixture that holds together.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once hot, place the patties in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked tikis to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the gluten-free aloo tikkis warm, with mint chutney or tamarind chutney on the side.
