VEGETABLE TIKKI

'Aloo Tikki' is a famous North Indian street food. I made little variation with this recipe and loaded with mashed green peas, carrot, coriander leaves with a various of Indian spices. You may use this tikki as a patties in Burger. Though it is a street food, but while made it in home, is very healthy and delicious.

INGREDIENTS:

2 Potatoes
1/2 Cup Green Peas (blended in mixer)
1/2 Cup Grated Carrot
2 tbsp Finely Chopped Coriander Leaves / Cilantro
2 Green Chillies (finely chopped)
3-4 tbsps Bread Crumbs
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 tsp Cumin Seeds (roasted & powdered)
1/3 tsp Chaat Masala
1/3 tsp Garam Masala
Salt to taste
1/2 Cup Oil For Frying

METHOD:

Boil, peel and mash potatoes nicely.

In a large bowl, combine mashed potato, green peas, carrot, coriander leaves, green chilli, bread crumbs, lemon juice, roasted cumin powder, garam masala and salt. Mix the whole thing together nicely. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.

After that, take a small portion from this dough, give a shape of ball, press it round gently to make a flat round pattie or tikki. Repeat the procedure for all pieces. I made 15 tikkis from this entire dough.

Heat oil in a non-stick pan. Fry tikkis till crisp golden brown from both sides. Drain on a paper towel.

Sprinkle chaat masala on the top. Serve hot with your favourite chutney or ketchup.
