Since I turned vegan a few years ago, the choices for an evening snack became really restricted. Most Indian snacks are deep fried. That is when I began experimenting how to transform the traditional snacks into whole food plant based. Hari has proved to be a godsend in this regard. No matter what recipe I give him, he turns it out to perfection. I now have several (tens of them) recipes for tea-time snacks. One of the simplest is the ubiquitous aloo tikki (potato cutlet). Have it on its own or in a whole wheat bun. Delicious indeed!

Ingredients
3-4 medium sized potatoes, boiled
1 green chilli, chopped fine
1 small onion, chopped fine
1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
1/2 tsp red chilli powder
Salt to taste
Method
Boil the potatoes
Add salt, chilli powder, coriander leaves, green chilli and onion
Mash well
Shape into 3-4 cutlets
Heat a tawa (girdle)
Roast the cutlets on both sides till golden brown
Serve hot with any green chutney of your choice
Enjoy!
