How to make Aloo Tikki Recipe - Spicy Potato Patties or Cutlets
To begin making the Baked Aloo Tikki Recipe, first prep all the ingredients and keep them ready.
Boil the potatoes in the pressure cooker, peel and keep them aside. Preheat the oven to 200 C.
In a food processor, add in both the boiled regular potatoes and sweet potatoes, the steamed green peas, a teaspoon of grated ginger, two roughly chopped green chillies, a large finely chopped onion, two tablespoons of mint chutney, some salt to taste and finally a tablespoon of corn flour binding.
Cover the food processor and blend until the potatoes are coarsely mashed and all the ingredients come together. Open the processor and give the mixture a stir halfway through so the ingredients come together and blend again
Transfer the potato dough into a bowl so we can begin to shape them into kebabs or tikkis.
Grease your fingers with a little oil and shape the potato dough into bite size tikkis or large lemon size balls, dust them in breadcrumbs and place them on the baking tray. Proceed the similar way with the remaining dough.
You can also shape the dough in the form of a cylinder like the kebabs, dust them in breadcrumbs and insert them into a skewer and grill them. I will now place the tikkis in an oven preheated to 200 C and bake for 15 minutes until lightly browned.
After about 15 minutes, I will now remove the aloo tikkis from the oven. Notice the light browning from the top. The tikkis will not brown too much as they have no oil in them
If you want it to be crisper then you can drizzle some oil on top of the aloo tikkis before they go into the oven. The oil will give them a soft and yet crisp texture.
