Gluten-Free Aloo Tikki Chaat

Ingredients

• 4 medium Potatoes
• 1 can Chickpeas
• 1 small Onion
• 1 small Green Chilies
• 1/4 cup Cilantro
• 1 cup Plain Yogurt
• 1/4 cup Tamarind Chutney
• 1/4 cup Mint Chutney
• 2 teaspoons Chaat Masala
• 1 teaspoon Cumin Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
• 2 tablespoons Rice Flour
• 2 tablespoons Oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

1. 1Place the 4 medium Potatoes in a large heavy-bottomed pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes, let them cool slightly until you can handle them, then peel them and place them in a large bowl. Mash the potatoes thoroughly with a fork or potato masher.
2. 2To the mashed potatoes, add the 1 small Onion (finely chopped), 1 small Green Chilies (finely chopped), 1/4 cup Cilantro (chopped), 1 teaspoon Cumin Powder, 1/2 teaspoon Red Chili Powder, 1 teaspoon Salt, and 2 tablespoons Rice Flour. Mix everything together until well combined.
3. 3Divide the potato mixture into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then gently flatten each ball into a patty (tikki) about 1/2-inch thick.
4. 4Pour the 2 tablespoons Oil into a large non-stick skillet and heat over medium-high heat (375°F / 190°C). Carefully place the tikkis into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan (you may need to cook them in batches).
5. 5Shallow fry the tikkis for 4-5 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to flip them gently. Once cooked, remove the tikkis from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
6. 6To assemble the chaat, place 2 tikkis on each of the 4 serving plates. Open the 1 can Chickpeas and drain them, then scatter the chickpeas over the tikkis.
7. 7Drizzle the 1 cup Plain Yogurt, 1/4 cup Tamarind Chutney, and 1/4 cup Mint Chutney over the chickpeas and tikkis.
8. 8Finally, sprinkle 2 teaspoons Chaat Masala evenly over the assembled chaat and serve immediately.
