Prep: 5 min
Cook: 20 min
Total: 25 min
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 medium potatoes (boiled)
- 2 cups Indian Spiced Quinoa leftovers
- 1 1/2 tsp ginger (grated)
- 1/4 tsp red chili powder
- salt (to taste)
- 4 tbsp oil
Instructions
- Grate the boiled potatoes into a medium sized bowl using the small side of the box grater.
- Add the quinoa, ginger, chili powder and salt to the bowl. Mash together using your hands (or a wooden spoon if you prefer) until the mixture is well combined and holds together when squeezed in your fist.
- Take a handful of the mash at a time (I like to use a 1/8 cup measure so that all the tikki come out even) and form into small patties.
- Heat a 12 inch skillet with 2 tbsp oil. When the oil starts to shimmer, carefully add half the patties. Cook about 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Until golden brown. Repeat the process for the second batch.
- Serve with cilantro pea chutney.
