1 tspn. cumin powder
1 tspn. coriander powder
1/4 tspn. lal mirch

COOKING DIRECTIONS
Take the boiled and peeled potatoes and finely mash them.
You should use a masher or ricer, but seeing as we don’t own either of those kitchen utensils, we used our hands and a wooden spoon.
Try to get as many lumps out of the potatoes as possible b/c they make rolling difficult
Chop the tomato in half and then squeeze the water out like you would squeeze a lemon.
The seeds and tomato juice should come out.
Finely dice the tomato and the onion and mix it into the aloo along with the green chilis
Microwave or boil the peas and corn (you can combine them).
Puree in a food processor until creamed and then mix into the aloo.
Mix in the cilantro and spices. Adjust the spice and salt to taste.
If the aloo tastes under spiced, just add a little of each dry masala in a similar proportion
Mix about 1 cup of the cornmeal into the mixture.
This will help to firm up the mixture.
Keep the remaining cornmeal in a bowl for coating the tikkis.
Tear off portions of the aloo mixture and gently roll into balls between your palms.
Then pat it into a circular patty.
Coat it with the cornmeal on all sides.
We used our Cuisine Griddler for cooking the patties.
Using the flat plates, heat to high and then spray the grill plates with cooking spray.
Grill the tikkis until golden on each side. You can also pan fry the tikkis on a hot skillet using a little oil.
Smear the two outer sides of bread slices with butter.
Put them on the grill buttered side down and grill until slightly golden.
Smear one side with ketchup and the other side with coriander chutney.
Sandwich two aloo tikkis inside then grill again until the bread is completely golden and crusted. Enjoy!
