How To Make aloo tikki (the close cousin of potato samosa)
-
1Boil the potato and peas together. Drain off all the liquid and mash them together, make sure the mixture is little dry.
-
2Now add all the other ingredients EXCEPT oil and corn meal and make a nice potato dough. Use fresh clean hands to make the dough.
-
3Microwave the mixture in a microwave safe bowl for about 1 min to let all the ingredients cook before frying them. This ensures maximum taste and aroma.
-
4Remove the bowl from the microwave and let it sit for about 1/2 min. Now with a 1/8 measuring cup, measure 5 small portions of the dough. Flatten and make 5 medium potato patties out of the portions.
-
5Heat a saucepan/cast iron skillet, over medium flame. Hold your palm on top of the pan to see if it has heated enough.
-
6Dip and coat the patties in corn meal and arrange them on the pan. Add a drop of oil on each of the 5 patties. Now flip the patties and add a drop of oil each on each patty. Just flip the patties every 3 mins, until both sides have been fried well to a shade of golden-brown.
-
7Once the patties have cooked well, serve immediately and hot with ketchup or mint chutney.
