Ingredients
Aromatics and Spices
- 2 Chiles finely chopped, green
- 1/2 Onion finely chopped
- 3 sprigs Coriander chopped
- 1/2 tbsp Lime Juice
- 1 tsp Garam Masala
- Salt to taste
Other Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Corn Flour
- Olive Oil for shallow frying
- Tamarind Chutney for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed potato, boiled quinoa, frozen green peas, chopped green chiles, finely chopped onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, garam masala, salt, and corn flour.
- Mix all ingredients thoroughly until a thick dough forms. Corn flour helps bind the mixture, creating a cohesive dough.
- Shape the dough into small, flat patties or tikki. For best results, chill the patties in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. This helps them firm up and prevents them from breaking apart during frying.
- Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, carefully place the chilled tikki in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd it.
- Cook the tikki for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Flipping them gently ensures even cooking and a beautiful crust.
- Remove the cooked tikki from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve the hot Quinoa Aloo Tikki immediately with tamarind chutney for dipping. Garnish with extra cilantro, if desired.
