Hello, Hive family! How are you all doing? I hope your Sunday is going well. Ramadan, the blessed month, is coming to an end. I'm sure you all must be busy with Eid shopping as well. Today, I am going to prepare the recipe that was my favorite during my childhood. And often I used to take it with parathas for school lunch. It was made every time we had vegetables at home. Because I didn't like eating vegetables. And I used to get upset. So, my mom used to make this dish to cheer me up. That's why I would call this dish a dish to cheer up a grumpy person. This recipe name is chicken alu tikki/ chicken potato cutlets . This recipe using chicken, green chillies, red chillies and mashed potatoes. This dish is incredibly delicious and can be enjoyed with roti, rice with tea as a snack, or served as an appetizer.
I will use less chili powder and spices in this recipe because of stomach issues nowadays.
These are the essential ingredients for this recipe:
Ingredients:
4 large size potatoes (400 gms)
Chicken 200 gms
Onion 1 Large Size( Chopped)
Green Capsicum 1 medium Sized (Chopped)
Chili Sauce 1 Teaspoon
Vinegar 1 Teaspoon
Kasuri Methi 1 Teaspoon
1 Teaspoon black pepper
Green Chili 4 large sized( Crushed)
Red Chili Powder 1/2 half teaspoon
1 Teaspoon salt
Green Coriander
1 egg
let's get started with this recipe!
Cooking Instructions:
- Boil the potatoes until they are soft. Peel and mash them using a masher while they are still hot.
- Boil the chicken separately, then finely chop it using a chopper. And add vinegar and chili sauce.
- Cut and chopped the onion in small pieces. Chopped onions would make the tikki crunchy and enhance its flavor.
- Mix the mashed potatoes and chopped chicken together in a bowl, ensuring they are well combined. Add all the spices and Kasuri methi and ginger garlic paste and mix thoroughly.
- In another bowl, beat an egg with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Shape the mixture into round cutlets of your preferred size. Dip each cutlet first into the beaten egg mixture.( Optional: you can use the bread crumbs to bring crunchiness in the cutlets).
But I'm not using crumbs in it because they make the tikkis a bit hard.
- Heat a frying pan and shallow fry the patties until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides.
- Serve the hot tikkis/cutlets with your favorite dipping sauce or raita on the side. Having raita with this dish enhances its flavor. Enjoy your delicious homemade chicken potato cutlets!
