Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 1 cup Chickpeas
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 small Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Plain yogurt
- 0.5 Cucumber
- 1 tablespoon Mint leaves
Instructions
Boil the potatoes in a pot until they are fork-tender. Drain and let them cool slightly before peeling.
While the potatoes are boiling, rinse and drain the chickpeas thoroughly.
In a large bowl, mash the boiled potatoes and chickpeas together until smooth.
Finely chop the red onion and parsley and add them to the mashed mixture.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mixture and mix well.
Stir in the lemon juice and one tablespoon of olive oil, mixing until everything is well incorporated.
Shape the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter and set them aside.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Fry the patties in batches, cooking each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden and crisp.
While the tikis are cooking, prepare the yogurt sauce. Grate the cucumber and squeeze out any excess water.
In a small bowl, combine the plain yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, and chopped mint leaves. Mix well and season with a pinch of salt.
Serve the aloo tikis hot, drizzled with the cucumber yogurt sauce.
