Today I will write recipe for making Potato cakes
For many years we lived in Bihar where we were growing potatoes and buying from other farmers from different parts of India: Uttar Pradesh, Bengal,Bihar, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Tripura, Tamil Nadu, Orissa and many other places, and storing the crop in our cold storage until new crop came in the market.
India is the fifth largest producer of potatoes in the world after china, Russia, Poland and USA.
Potato is considered as the ‘king’ in food staples and there is hardly any domestic kitchen where it is not used in routine in one form or the other.On account of its short duration and high yield, potato is called a cash crop.
Potato is liked by almost all of us and it is easily available round the year, which is used in many different ways.
Potato cake (Aloo ki Tikiya) Very popular as fast food in India. especially in small restaurants and with wanders in Delhi and Mumbai.
Recipe for Potato Cake
*1 1/2 lb Potatoes, boiled & mashedMix all ingredients (except oil spray) together well. Divide into portions (as many as specified in "yield") and shape each into a thick flat round.
Heat a large heavy frying pan (griddle)spread4 tbsp oil on the pan.when oil heats properly put 6to8 potato cakes at a time, depending on how large the griddle is.After 4-5 minutes make thee temperature on medium heat and turn the cakes(Tikiya) and let these be golden colour both sides DO NOT disturb them until they are crisp or you will spoil the crust. Lift them gently with a spatula. Lift rather than scrape, and flip over, remembering that they will still be very soft in the middle.Put them on a kitchen paper to soak the extra oil.
Serve them in aflat round service plat topping with chopped green coriander.
One can serve this dish for any meal with tomato ketchup or green coriander chutney. I think your family and friends will enjoy.
