The method
Step by step
- 1
Combine the mashed potato, ginger, green chili, cilantro, cumin powder, garam masala, and salt in a large bowl.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Ensure the potatoes are completely cooled before mixing to prevent a sticky dough.
- 2
Add the rice flour to the mixture and mix well until everything is evenly incorporated and forms a firm dough.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Rice flour helps with binding and gives a crispy texture; adjust quantity if potatoes are very moist.
- 3
Divide the potato mixture into 8-10 equal portions and flatten each portion into a round patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: Lightly oil your hands to prevent the mixture from sticking.
- 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Use enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan for even frying.
- 5
Carefully place the potato patties into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Fry in batches if necessary.
- 6
Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
About 8 min
Cook’s note: Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning while ensuring they cook through.
- 7
Remove the cooked tikkis from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Keep them warm while you prepare the dip.
- 8
For the yogurt dip, whisk together the yogurt, mint leaves, and chaat masala in a small bowl.
About 2 min
- 9
Serve the hot aloo tikkis immediately with the prepared yogurt dip.
