Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Sabudana/Sago
• 2 medium Potatoes
• 2 tbsp Rajgira flour or 1 Bread slice for binding
• 1/4 cup roasted Groundnuts,coarsely ground
• 5-6 Green chillies,finely chopped
• 2-3 tbsp chopped Coriander leaves
• 1" Ginger,grated
• juice of 1/2 Lemon
• Salt to taste
• Chaat masala,to sprinkle (optional)
• Oil,to fry

Method

1. Wash sago twice and add enough water until it is just above the level of Sago.Soak it for 4-5 hrs or overnight.
2. Pressure cook potatoes for 3 whistles until they are soft.Peel the skin and mash them nicely while they are still warm.
3. In a bowl add the mashed potatoes,coarsely ground roasted groundnuts,chopped green chillies,grated ginger,chopped coriander leaves,salt,lemon juice and mix it nicely.
4. Add soaked sago pearls and rajgiri flour(or bread slcie)to it and mix it nicely.Check the binding now and try to make one tikki,if you are not able to make it add little more rajgira flour if necessary.If you are using bread slice dip it in water for 10-15 seconds and squeeze the extra water from it and add it to the potato mixture while mixing.
5. Make tikkis out of the mixture.Do not press the tikkis hard while making,try not to apply any pressure.
6. Heat a tawa and add a couple of tbsp of oil and spread it nicely and place the tikkis and fry them on both sides until golden brown.They cook pretty fast and takes around 2-3 mins on each side.You can even deep fry them if you want.
7. Sprinkle some chaat masala on top,this is optional.
