Vegetarian Eggless Fritter 5: Aloo Tikki [Potato and Pea Cutlet]

Total time required to make: 30mins
Serves: 4

Aloo tikki are a versatile type of potato fritter/patty. They take no time to whip up and can be eaten as fritters, with chilli/mint chutney, in a hamburger as a patty or on top on a pea/chickpea ?ragda? which is a thick and spicy curry. My favourite way of eating is would have to be with ?sev?, onion and tamarind/mint chutney and chaat masala sprinkled on top.

Ingredients:
6-8 medium potatoes, boiled
½ cup frozen peas, thawed and crushed
1 slice stale bread
1-2 medium green chillies, minced
2 tsp ginger garlic paste
2 tbs chopped coriander
1-2 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp dhana jeera powder [ ground coriander + ground cumin] [optional]
1 tsp turmeric [optional]
1 tsp garam masala/ kitchen king masala
Pinch chaat masala [optional]
1-2 tbs lemon juice [optiona]
Salt to taste

Method
Mash potatoes using potato masher.
Add crushed peas and remaining ingredients except bread.
Crumble the slice of bread to make breadcrumbs and add to mixture. If the mixture doesn?t come together you may need to use another slice.
Form mixture into patties and shallow fry until golden brown.
Drain well and serve.
