Instructions
- To begin making the Avarekalu Tikki Recipe Recipe, first prep all the ingredients and keep them ready
- Boil the potatoes in the pressure cooker, peel and keep them aside
- In the same pressure cooker add the avarekalu with some water and salt and boil it for 3 whistles
- Leave it aside to release the pressure naturally
- In a bowl, add in both the boiled regular potatoes and sweet potatoes, cooked avarekalu beans, a teaspoon of grated ginger, two roughly chopped green chilies, a large finely chopped onion, spice powder, chopped mint leaves, coriander leaves and some salt to taste
- Use your hand to mash them until the potatoes are coarsely mashed and all the ingredients come together
- Once it is mixed well, shape them into kebabs or tikkis
- Grease your fingers with a little oil and shape the potato dough into bite size tikkis or large lemon size balls
- Proceed the similar way with the remaining mixture
- You can also shape the dough in the form of a cylinder like the kebabs, dust them in breadcrumbs and insert them into a skewer and grill them
- I will now place the tikkis over a heated flat pan for about 15 minutes on either side until lightly browned
- Drizzle some oil on each of the tikkis
- If you want it to be crisper then you can drizzle some more oil on top of the aloo tikkis
- The oil will give them a soft and yet crisp texture
- Serve the Avarekalu Tikki Recipe along with Masala Chai and Mavinakayi Chitranna Recipe for your evening snack
