The Thought:
Most people escape eating potatoes thinking it makes us obese & fat! However, Research by the University of California, Davis and the National Center for Food Safety and Technology, Illinois Institute of Technology demonstrates that people can include potatoes in their diet and still lose weight!!
So here's my perfect recipe using the best of potato!
Ingredients:
- 3 large boiled aloo (potatoes) - Even more potatoes would be necessary if you are too hungry! (Remember, you can still lose weight! :) )
- Salt to Taste
- Black pepper powder - To add that spice
- Peas - 1 Cup
- 1-2 Minced or smashed ginger - Add garlic if you like it strong in spices
- A Pinch of Garam Masala
- Red chili powder
- Coriander Powder
- Oil to Fry
How to make aloo tikki :
- Take the peas and mash them up.
- Add all the stuffing ingredients from Number 4 - Number 7 and mash briefly. Keep it aside
- Peel the potatoes and mash them very finely into smooth mashed potatoes. Add salt and pepper and knead until properly mixed.
- Take each portion of potato mixture and make a ball. Now
- Taking one at a time, flatten each division into a round patty and place a portion of stuffing in the center and fold the edges together very finely so that mixture does not come out.
- Now very gently flatten it into a 2-inch patty. Repeat the procedure for all pieces.
- Heat 1 tsp. oil in a non-stick pan over a low heat. Slip in the patties, not too many at a time, and pan-fry on both sides till crisp golden brown, adding oil if required, on a very low heat.
- Serve aloo tikki hot
Side Add-On's
- Curds
- Mint Chutney (Will add the recipe once I learn it)
- Sauce
Hope they come out perfect when you try them as well
