Before you start
- Boil the potatoes a day ahead and refrigerate them unpeeled. Warm or freshly boiled potato holds water and the tikki spreads in the pan.
- Grate rather than mash. Mashing develops starch and gives a gluey patty.
Method
- Grate the cold potatoes coarsely. Do not mash.
- Mix in the cornflour, chilli, ginger, ground spices, coriander and salt with a light hand.Work it as little as possible.
- Shape into 8 patties about 2cm thick and chill 20 minutes.Chilling firms them so they hold in the pan.
- Heat oil on a tawa over medium heat and lay the tikkis in without crowding.
- Cook 5 minutes a side without moving them. Turn once only.Moving them early tears the crust that is forming.
- Press gently at the end to crisp the edges, dust with chaat masala and serve with both chutneys.
Storage
Best hot. The shaped raw patties keep 2 days refrigerated and fry better cold; cooked tikkis reheat well in a dry pan.
