Ingredients
For the Potato Mixture
- 3 Potatoes medium-sized, peeled and grated
- 2 clove Garlic minced
- 1 Chili finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference), green
- 3 tbsp All-Purpose Flour maida
- 2 Eggs
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 0.5 tsp Chili Powder red
- 0.25 tsp Herbs cumin, dried, or garam masala (optional), such as coriander
- 0.25 tsp Pepper black, ground
For Frying
- 1/2 cup Oil for shallow frying, vegetable or canola oil
Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
- Grate the potatoes and soak them in cold water for 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This step is crucial for achieving crispy pancakes.
Make the Batter
- In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, minced garlic, chopped green chili, flour, eggs, salt, red chili powder, dried herbs (if using), and black pepper. Mix well until a smooth batter forms. Ensure there are no lumps.
Cook the Pancakes
- Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Spread gently into a thin, round shape. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip when the edges begin to brown and the bottom is set.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the potato pancakes immediately. Garnish with your favourite chutney or yogurt and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Aloo Tikki:
- For extra crispy pancakes, let the grated potatoes sit for 10-15 minutes after squeezing out excess water. This allows the starch to settle.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the pancakes in batches to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies to your preferred level of spiciness. Start with less and add more if needed.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices to create your own unique flavor combinations. A sprinkle of chaat masala after cooking adds another layer of deliciousness.
