Serves: 10-12
Ingredients
  • 1 cup Sabudana, pre soaked & drained
  • 1 medium Idaho potato, boiled & mashed
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • ½ tablespoon ginger paste
  • ½ teaspoon chopped green chilis
  • 1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon roasted cumin powder
  • ¼ cup cooking oil
Method
  1. Soak Sabudana in warm water for 4-6 hours or soak in boiling hot water for one hour, until the pearls become translucent.
  2. Drain, squeeze dry with hands or in a colander and put in mixing bowl. Add boiled potato, chopped cilantro, ginger paste, green chilis, cumin powder, salt and mix until well combined. Check for salt at this point and adjust to taste.
  3. Lightly grease a plate with oil and set aside. Make tikkis by starting out with a golf ball size amount of mixture between the palms of your hands, pressing lightly to form two inch round tikkis. Place formed tikkis in greased plate.
  4. Once all tikkis have been formed, heat oil in pan on medium high heat. Once the oil is hot, shallow fry the tikkis for 2 minutes on each side. Let cool 1-2 minutes and enjoy.
