Aloo Tikki (Potato Patties)

Ingredients

• 2 cups Boiled and Mashed Potatoes
• 1/4 cup Finely Chopped Onion
• 1-2 number Green Chilies
• 1 tsp Ginger
• 2 tbsp Cilantro
• 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
• 1/2 tsp Red Chili Powder
• 1/2 tsp Garam Masala
• 1/2 tsp Amchur (Dry Mango Powder)
• To Taste Salt
• 2 tbsp Oil
• 1/4 cup Breadcrumbs

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 2 cups of Boiled and Mashed Potatoes, 1/4 cup of Finely Chopped Onion, 1-2 Finely Chopped Green Chilies, 1 tsp of Finely Chopped Ginger, 2 tbsp of Finely Chopped Cilantro, 1/4 tsp of Turmeric Powder, 1/2 tsp of Red Chili Powder, 1/2 tsp of Garam Masala, 1/2 tsp of Amchur, and Salt to taste. Mix all ingredients thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until a uniform mixture forms.
2. 2Divide the potato mixture into 8-10 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round patty, approximately 2.5 inches (6 cm) in diameter and 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick.
3. 3Spread the 1/4 cup of Breadcrumbs onto a shallow plate. Gently press each patty into the breadcrumbs, ensuring both sides are fully and evenly coated.
4. 4Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat (approximately 325-350°F or 160-175°C). Add the 2 tbsp of Oil to the hot pan and allow it to shimmer.
5. 5Carefully place the breadcrumb-coated patties into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary. Pan-fry the patties for 3-5 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and crispy on both surfaces.
6. 6Remove the Aloo Tikki from the skillet and serve hot.
