instructions
    1

    Start by boiling the potatoes in water until they are soft. This will take about 15-20 minutes.

    2

    Once the potatoes are boiled, drain the water and let them cool for a few minutes.

    3

    Peel the potatoes and mash them in a bowl until smooth.

    4

    Finely chop the green chilies and coriander leaves, and grate the ginger. Add these to the mashed potatoes.

    5

    Sprinkle in the cumin, turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix everything together well until the spices are evenly distributed.

    6

    With your hands, shape the potato mixture into small, flat patties or discs.

    7

    Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Carefully place the patties in the pan, being sure not to overcrowd them.

    8

    Cook each side for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. You might need to adjust the heat to avoid burning.

    9

    Once cooked, remove the Aloo Tikka from the pan and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

    10

    Serve hot with your choice of chutney, and enjoy a deliciously satisfying snack!
