Aloo Tikki is a delicious and crispy Indian potato patty, seasoned with aromatic spices and perfect for a hearty vegan breakfast. This dish is not only satisfying but also brings a burst of flavor to your morning routine.

Ingredients

• Potatoes (boiled and mashed) - 300 grams
• Green peas (boiled) - 50 grams
• Onion (finely chopped) - 1 medium (about 100 grams)
• Green chili (finely chopped) - 1 small
• Ginger (grated) - 1 teaspoon
• Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Garam masala - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Fresh coriander leaves (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Rice flour - 2 tablespoons (for binding)
• Oil - for shallow frying

Steps

1. Boil the potatoes until soft, then drain and let them cool before peeling and mashing them in a bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, mash the boiled green peas and add them to the mashed potatoes.
3. Add the chopped onion, green chili, grated ginger, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, salt, and fresh coriander to the potato mixture.
4. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. If the mixture feels too wet, add rice flour for binding.
5. Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into a flat round patty (tikki).
6. Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the tikkis in the pan.
7. Fry the tikkis for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
8. Remove the tikkis from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
9. Serve hot with mint chutney or tomato ketchup.
