Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Boil the potatoes until tender. Once cooked, allow them to cool slightly, then peel and mash them smoothly in a large bowl.
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.
Mix well to ensure the spices and herbs are evenly distributed.
Add the cornflour to the potato mixture and mix thoroughly. This helps bind the ingredients together effectively.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a flat round patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot enough, place the patties in the skillet in batches if necessary, ensuring they do not touch.
Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until the patties turn golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to flip them gently.
Remove the Aloo Tikkis from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
Serve hot, garnished with extra coriander leaves and a side of mint chutney or yogurt for dipping, if desired.
