 Let’s Get Started:

3-4 Aloo boiled and peeled.

Ingredients:

• 1 finely chopped green chili
• 2-3 tbsp coriander leaves chopped
• 3 tbsp green peas boiled and drained (optional)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp chili flakes
• 1/4 tsp black sea salt
• 1/2 tsp lemon drops
• 3-4 tsp rice flour

Recipe Instructions:

• Take a bowl and grate all the boiled potatoes to get the smooth dough for making tikki.
• Now to the grated dough add 1 chopped green chili, chopped coriander leaves, boiled and drained green peas, 1 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp chili flakes, 1/4 tsp black sea salt and 1/2 tsp lemon drops. Mix everything together.
• Green peas should also be mashed well. Now to this dough add 3-4 tbsp Rice flour and again give it a good mix. You can also use corn flour or bread crumbs for the binding.
• Rice flour adds more crispness and the dough is very light.
• Dough is ready to make. Now grease your hand with the oil and take some dough to make a round tikki.
• Take the dough according to the big or small size you want.
• Roll it into a round ball and then flatten it to give a shape of tikki.
• Make all the dough like this and keep it aside.
• Now we will deep fry it. You can shallow fry it too.
• Take a deep pan and add oil in it to deep fry tikki.
• Keep the flame on medium low, add 2-3 tikki at a time and  fry it until it turns golden brown from one side.
• When the bottom side is cooked brown then flip the side to cook it from the other side.
• When it is done, take out the tikki in a plate and make rest of the tikki the same way.
• All the tikki are ready. Serve hot with coriander chutney or Imli chutney.
