Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
- Pressure cook 4 diced potatoes with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup water for 3 whistles. Let cool, then partially mash.
Sauté the Aromatics
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add finely chopped onions and curry leaves, sauté until onions are golden. Stir in red chili powder, turmeric powder, and 1.5 teaspoons of salt. Add the mashed potatoes and mix well.
Add Lemon Juice and Cool
- Stir in lemon juice, mix thoroughly, and remove from heat. Let the potato mixture cool completely.
Make the Batter
- In a bowl, combine gram flour, 1 teaspoon red chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1/4 teaspoon asafoetida, and a pinch of baking soda. Gradually add water to make a thick batter, ensuring it coats the potato mixture well.
Fry the Aloo Tikki
- Heat about 2 cups of oil in a pan. Dip the cooled potato mixture into the batter, forming small patties. Deep fry until golden brown, turning occasionally. Remove, drain on paper towels, and serve hot with ketchup or chutney.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Aloo Tikki
- For extra crispy fritters, ensure the potato mixture is completely cool before frying. This prevents them from becoming soggy.
- Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preferred spice level. For a milder version, reduce the quantity.
- Don't overcrowd the pan while frying. Fry in batches to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- If your batter is too thin, add more gram flour. If it's too thick, add a little more water until you reach the desired consistency. It should be thick enough to coat the potato mixture but not so thick that it won't fry evenly.
