Navratri Special Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

1 Cup Sabudana (Tapioca)

4 Medium size potatoes

Salt to taste

1 tbsp Aamchur (Mango powder)

1 Green chili chopped

1/4 cup roasted peanuts (grounded)

Cilantro

Oil to fry

METHOD:

Soak sabudana (tapioca) for 4-5 hours or more if required.

Boil the potatoes and mash them.

Add the crushed roasted peanuts...

Add the sabudana (Tapioca)...

Add cilantro, salt and Mango powder (Aamchur) and green chilies...

Mix it all together and start shaping them...

Tikki shape/round shape and flatten them a little with my palms....

I shallow fried them (although this is too much oil for me) but somehow I convinced myself... 

Cook them on medium low flame... (unlike me) but this way I get to make them crispier...:D

Take them out on a tissue paper to soak the extra oil... and they are good to be served with Green cilantro mint chutney..:D

If I haven't posted a recipe for that will do it soon..:D 

By the end of it, oil was wiped out... :P

 My end product... Made around 15-16 tikkis...

Amazing if served with Green Mint cilantro Chutney...
