Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes (about 500g), boiled and mashed
- 1/2 cup green peas, boiled and mashed
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 green chilies, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon chaat masala
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon amchur (dry mango powder)
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons cornflour
- Salt to taste
- Oil for shallow frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, mashed peas, onion, green chilies, ginger-garlic paste, cumin seeds, garam masala, chaat masala, red chili powder, amchur, and salt. Mix well.
- Add bread crumbs and cornflour to the mixture and mix until it comes together. If the mixture is too dry, sprinkle a little water; if too wet, add more bread crumbs.
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a smooth ball, then flatten into a patty about 1/2-inch thick.
- Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the patties in the pan, ensuring not to overcrowd. Shallow fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with mint chutney and tamarind chutney.
Tips
- For extra crispiness, coat the patties in a thin layer of cornflour before frying.
- You can add boiled and mashed cauliflower for a variation.
- Serve immediately for best texture; reheating may make them less crispy.
