• 0.25 cup Cilantro
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Oil
• 2 tablespoons Chickpea flour (besan)

Directions

Step 1

Boil the potatoes in salted water until they are soft and tender. Drain and let them cool before peeling.

Step 2

Mash the cooled potatoes in a large mixing bowl until smooth.

Step 3

Add the cooked chickpeas and use a fork or potato masher to partially mash them, leaving some texture.

Step 4

Add the cooked quinoa and green peas to the mashed mixture.

Step 5

Finely chop the onion, green chilies, and cilantro. Add them to the potato mixture along with the ginger-garlic paste.

Step 6

Season the mixture with garam masala, red chili powder, cumin powder, and salt. Mix everything thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined.

Step 7

Add the chickpea flour to the mixture to bind it. Mix well to form a cohesive dough.

Step 8

Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into a round, flat patty.

Step 9

Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the pan.

Step 10

Cook the aloo tikis until both sides are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 11

Remove from the pan and drain excess oil on a paper towel.

Step 12

Serve the high protein aloo tikis with chutney or sauce of your choice. Enjoy!
