Aloo Tikkis (Indian Potato Cakes)
- Number of Servings: 10
Ingredients
5 medium-sized potatoes2 medium-sized yellow or white onions3/4 cup frozen peas1 jalapeno pepper1 tsp salt1/2 cup plain bread crumbs3 tbsp canola oil4 tbsp chopped raw cilantro
Boil the potatoes until fork-tender.
As they cool, dice the onions and mince the jalapeno.
Saute' them with salt in canola oil just until the onions begin to turn golden brown.
Add the frozen peas and heat through until they're as cooked as you like them.
Peel and mash the potatoes in a large bowl.
Add the onion and jalapeno mixture, and mix well.
If you can get your hands on mango powder (amchur) add 1/2 a teaspoon to the mix.
Mix in two teaspoons of the bread crumbs and the cilantro.
Then form patties out of the potato mixture and pan-fry them until golden brown.
I divided this mix into 10 good-sized patties.
You can use 1 tablespoon of oil to cook the patties so they become golden brown and crisp (usually they are deep-fried).
Serve the tikkis plain or with tamarind sauce and green chutney.
I found that plum sauce is a good substitute that's readily available in stores.
Ketchup is a nice condiment for these as well.
You can also serve one or two tikkis over pasta and tomato sauce.
They are often traditionally served with cholay, a chick pea dish.
Hope you enjoy!

I added 1 tsp of cumin and 1/8 tsp of Indian chili powder.I used my air fryer to cut down the oil. Perfect!I also used my stand mixer (much easier) and red potatoes peeled before boiling. Use the extra bread crumbs to coat the outside.Served with spicy tomato chutney. Delicious! Hit with the family! - 8/12/19
