Servings 4

Ingredients

For the Green Chutney

  • 1 cup cilantro leaves (packed, hard stems removed)
  • ½ cup mint leaves (packed, all stems removed)
  • ginger 1" piece
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp avocado oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Water as needed

For the Aloo Tikki

  • 4 medium potatoes boiled, peeled and cooled
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • ½ small finely chopped onion
  • 2 to 3 tbsp of egg (whisk 1 egg and use just 2 to 3 tbsps)
  • 2 green chillies finely chopped
  • 2 tbsps chopped cilantro
  • ½ tsp chilli powder
  • ½ tsp compatible Fruit Chaat masala (optional) (Refer to the recipe notes for options)
  • ¼ tsp cumin powder
  • ¼ cup almond flour (optional)
  • 1 tbsp oil

Instructions

Make the Green Chutney

  • ADD all the ingredients in a blender.
  • ADD just enough water so that you can blend the ingredients well.
  • BLEND till you have a smooth paste.

Make the Aloo Tikki

  • COOL boiled potatoes completely and mash them well into a bowl.
  • ADD the frozen peas, chopped onion, cilantro, red chilli powder, cumin powder, the optional Chaat masala, & whisked egg and mix it well.
  • LET it sit for 15 minutes to reduce the stickiness and make it easier to shape into patties.
  • FORM small balls out of the potato and peas mix.
  • FLATTEN the balls to make patties and pat them on the almond flour to coat the outside (coating them in almond flour is optional).
  • REST the patties for about 20 minutes (helps in holding the shape while cooking)
  • ADD oil to a pan and COOK the patties over medium high heat for 5 to 7 minutes.
  • DRIZZLE a few drops of the oil around the patties, if needed (use very little oil, as too much oil can make the patties mushy).
  • FLIP and cook on the other side for another 5 to 7 minutes.
  • SERVE immediately with the Green Chutney.

Notes

Chaat masala is a versatile blend of Indian spices used to add a punch to savory snacks, grilled meat dishes like kebabs, salads and even some Indian drinks. It has ingredients like black salt, dried mango powder, coriander and cumin. Not only is this spice mix perfect for Indian street food but it's tangy flavor enhances the flavor of anything it is added to. For a Whole30 compatible version, please make sure this spice mix does not have Asafoetida/Hing as that may contain traces of gluten. If you can’t find a Chaat masala which is Whole30 compatible, you can use 1 tsp of lemon juice, or lemon juice and 1/4 tsp black salt, which adds the distinct flavour of the Chaat masala. If using black salt adjust the regular salt accordingly. We have used fruit Chaat masala as it has no asafoetida added, and is Whole30 compatible.
