Potato : Our Family Vegetable
Potatoes in any form is always a hit at home. In fact, I jocularly say Potato is our family vegetable. When there is a family song, family food, why can't there be a family vegetable?
Any day, you walk-in to my in-laws house, there is a good chance of finding potato subzi. Both my kids are not alien to this habit of loving potatoes. Infact, my elder one is happy to have potato curry everyday in his lunch.
Our family favorite is this potato capsicum curry, a dry curry my husband makes. Perfectly cooked potatoes tossed with thinly sliced capsicums and flavored with simple homemade sambar powder.
Both my boys enjoy Madhura ke dubki wale aloo and raswale batanu shaak. Especially my little fella loves a semi gravy curry.
The Tikki Story
Aloo tikki or Potato patties was my elder ones favorite when he was in his primary school years. He developed a sudden liking to the McAloo tikki served at McDonalds.
One day, he wanted to make it for his school lunch box. He asked whether I could create the same patty with the same taste at home. I said, I will try and made these and gave it along homemade white bread.
It was such a big hit, and it made several appearances in his lunchbox that year. Now his younger brother has taken a liking for the same dish.
How to Serve
Enjoy these quick and easy potato & peas cutlet warm with some green chutney or some ketchup.
These vegan aloo tikki's make a wonderful patty for sandwiches or your fat burger. Check this Aloo sandwich and mixed vegetable tikki sandwich for inspiration.
With some extra cheese and they would definitely taste better than any store bought burgers.
Take Advantage of this Potato Love
If your family too love potatoes like mine, then take advantage of it. I usually add other less attractive veggies and make it attractive. Like this Aloo methi tikki, made with fresh fenugreek greens and potatoes.
This protein rich Aloo & green moong curry, is another family favorite. The wholesome green gram is never liked at home, So i paired it with their favorite potatoes.
