Green peas Potato Croquettes | Aloo Mattar Tikki

I got this tikki craze when I was in Bengaluru. Tikkis are North Indian Snack and most of them has a base ingredient, Potato.

As I prefer to eat vegetarian when it comes to sandwiches and burgers. So I try making tikkis adding most of the vegetables. That way it becomes healthy..Tikkis can be eaten as it is or with a chat or as a slider in a burger. Spread this filling in a sandwich

I use to take in my snack box or have it as a breakfast.

This is quite easy to prepare…

• Boiled and mashed potato – 2 cup
• carrots grated – 1/4 cup
• frozen green peas – 1/2 cup
• Cottage cheese(paneer) – 3 tbsp grated
• Green chilies – 1 chopped
• Pepper – 1/2 tsp
• Cumin seeds powder – 1/2 tsp
• Freshly grated ginger – 1 tsp
• Coriander leaves – 2 tbsp chopped
• Butter/Oil – 1 tsp
• All purpose flour/Corn flour – 2 tbsp
• salt to taste
• Oil for shallow frying

You have to,

• Heat the 1 tsp oil/butter. Add the ginger, green chili, green peas, carrot and salt.
• Cook for 5 minutes. Crush the green peas with the bottom of spoon
• Add mashed potato, cottage cheese, pepper, salt and cumin seed powder and mix well
• Add coriander leaves mix and remove from fire.
• Make croquettes and dust with the all purpose flour/corn flour. (you should be able to make 6 to 8 portions)

You can make veg sandwich or burger using this. You have to take whole wheat burger bun, slice it and apply little mayonnaise. Keep one tikki in between and enjoy.
