Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 teaspoon Freshly grated ginger
• 1 medium Green chili, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt substitute (like potassium chloride)
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Boil the potatoes in a large pot of water until they are tender enough to be pierced easily with a fork, approximately 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, drain the water and let them cool slightly.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and mash them in a large mixing bowl, ensuring there are no large lumps.

Step 3

Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, red chili powder, fresh cilantro leaves, grated ginger, finely chopped green chili, lemon juice, salt substitute, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix well to ensure the spices and seasonings are evenly distributed.

Step 4

Gradually incorporate the whole wheat breadcrumbs into the potato mixture, mixing until the mixture holds together well. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into 8-10 equal portions, shaping each into a round, flat patty of about 3 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet. Cook them in batches if necessary, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 7

Cook each side of the patties for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp on the outside and cooked all the way through.

Step 8

Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the heart-healthy aloo tiki warm, garnished with additional fresh cilantro, alongside a side of low-fat yogurt or a mint chutney for dipping.
