Anjali Pathak’s Aloo Tikkis (Spiced Potato Patties)

Instructions

1. Boil the potatoes in plenty of salted water for 15 minutes or until tender.
2. Drain and allow to steam for a few minutes to dry them out.
3. Transfer to a large plate and mash with the back of a fork, spreading them out so they start to cool.
4. Stir in the garlic, most of the fresh cilantro, Patak’s® Mild Curry Spice Paste, breadcrumbs and lime juice.
5. Taste and add a little salt if you need to.
6. When cool enough to handle, divide the mixture into 8 even pieces. Using wet hands, roll the potatoes into balls before flattening them a little in the palm of your hands.
7. Gently heat the oil in a frying pan.
8. Fry the tikkis on all sides until golden and crispy.
9. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve hot.
