Crispy and flavorful potato patties served with a medley of tangy and spicy chutneys, a popular Indian street food snack.
In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, green chilies, ginger, cilantro, mint leaves, garam masala, amchur, cumin powder, and salt. Mix well.
Gradually add cornstarch or rice flour, mixing until the mixture comes together and can be formed into patties. Be careful not to add too much, as it can make the patties dense.
Divide the mixture into equal portions (about 8 patties). Shape each portion into a round or slightly flattened patty.
Heat oil in a frying pan or skillet over medium heat.
Carefully place the aloo tikkis in the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Fry the aloo tikkis for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the aloo tikkis from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with mint-cilantro chutney and tamarind chutney.
Nutrition per serving (180g)
For extra crispy tikkis, you can refrigerate them for about 30 minutes before frying.
If the mixture is too sticky, add a little more cornstarch or rice flour. If it's too dry, add a teaspoon of water.
You can also add other ingredients like boiled peas, grated paneer (Indian cheese), or cashew nuts to the potato mixture for added flavor and texture.
For a healthier option, you can bake the tikkis in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
