Aloo Tikki

Snacks are very less to happen in my kitchen. It’s not becoz I’m lazy but it’s that there is a snack menu in our timetable. My hubby is so busy for past 2yrs & he will be in future too. Generally his office timings are very long  & it’s hard to munch a snack for him. On weekends we end up eating in restaurants most of the time.
With these circumstances I struggle to a lot time for snacks in my recipe index. So I thought I need to take full advantage of this marathon & stared it with a yummilicious street chat. I tried making it on this Friday & he was home early. We got a chance to enjoy the snack to full.
Blogger marathon #32 is a 26 day event & named as ABC cooking.


Yields - 6 Tikkis
Ingredients 
1 Large potato cooked & mashed
1/2 Cup cooked green peas
1/2 Cup onions
1 Tsp chat masala
2 Tbs corn flour
2 Tsp coriander cumin powder
2 Tsp lemon juice / amchur powder 
1 Tsp paprika
Salt for taste
2 Tbs oil for frying 



- In a bowl mix all the ingredients.



- Divide it in to 6 equal balls. Shape them into flat patties.



- Heat a wide pan with 1 tbs oil. Place the patties on the pan & fry them well on both sides. Once they are nice and brown on both sides remove them on to a paper towel or tissue. 



- Do the same with the next batch too. 



Serve them with coriander mint chutney & enjoy.


Note: 
1. I used one big potato, which are usually used to make "Garden Potato" dish.
2. To retain the color of peas I added little salt & baking soda while boiling them.
3. I dusted corn flour instead of bread crumbs to get a crispy texture outside. I recommend bread crumbs for sure.
4. You can replace chat masala with garam masala in emergency.
