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 or a potato podimas in the lunch menu.
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 subzi my husband makes. Perfectly cooked potatoes tossed with thinly sliced capsicums and flavored with simple homemade sambar powder.
Both the boys love this simple gravilicious potato curry Madhura ke dubki wale aloo and raswale batanu shaak, a Gujarati favorite.
The Tikki Story
Aloo tikki or Potato patty 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 and asked whether I can create the same patty and 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.

- 1 tablespoon corn flour
- 2 -3 tablespoon bread crumbs

Instructions
- Wash, peel and boil the potatoes until soft. I used my Microwave's autocook menu to cook the potatoes. Since, i was using frozen peas, i just added it to the potato to cook along.
- Once done, drain the excess water, let it cool and mash it well. To the mashed peas and potatoes mix, add red chili powder ,garam masala, amchur powder, corn flour and salt.
- You can also add finely chopped coriander leaves and mint leaves to this. Since my kids don't prefer, I didn't add any. Mix well and form a ball of dough.
- Divide the dough into 5 golf-sized balls. Press each ball in your palm and pat to form a round patty. I rolled it on the sides to form proper edges. Roll each patty in bread crumbs and coat well
- Heat a flat pan to toast the patties, I used my cast iron pan to cook the patties. Place 2 or 3 patties at a time, drizzle some oil on top, cook both sides until crisp and brown.
- Serve it hot with some mint chutney and ketchup. This can also be made into a sandwich with bread and cheese.
