Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, bread crumbs, boiled green peas, finely chopped onion, green chili, grated ginger, chopped coriander leaves, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
2. Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into round, flat patties. Ensure the patties are compact to prevent them from breaking during frying.
3. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the patties in the oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
4. Fry the patties until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
5. Once cooked, remove the patties from the pan and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
6. Serve the Aloo Tikki hot with your choice of mint chutney or tamarind chutney for a delightful contrast of flavors.
