Equipment

  • Oven
  • Grater

Ingredients

  • 1 kg Boiled Potatoes
  • Salt as per taste
  • 1 tbsp. Coriander Powder
  • 1 tbsp. Roasted Cumin Seeds
  • 1 tbsp. Chaat Masala
  • 1 small bowl Chopped Coriander
  • 1 small bowl Boiled Peas
  • 1 small bowl Cornflour
  • 2 tbsp. Oil
  • 1 tbsp. Red Chili Powder or Chopped Green Chilli (optional)
  • Bread Crumbs (for coating)

Instructions

  • Peel the boiled potatoes and grate them using a grater.
  • To the grated potatoes, add salt, coriander powder, chaat masala, cumin seeds, chopped coriander, boiled peas and cornflour.
  • Mix everything together using a spoon and then mash it using hands to make a dough-like mixture.
  • Put a foil paper in the baking tray and then coat it nicely with oil.
  • Take some potato mixture, and using the hands make ball-sized tikkis.
  • Roll the tikkis in breadcrumbs until they are covered nicely and place them on the baking tray. Repeat this step for the entire mixture.
  • Once all tikkis are placed on the baking tray, bake them in the oven for 35 minutes at 200 C.
  • When the tikkis are golden brown in colour take them out.
  • Your tikkis are ready. Serve them hot with chutney of your choice. I like them with coriander & mint chutney and tomato ketchup.

Notes

  • Let the boiled potatoes cool or boil them a day before as it helps the tikkis to bind better.
  • For more flavour, add onion, garlic and ginger powder.
