Since I posted my entry for Click - Stacks, a bunch of you asked for the recipe which I wanted to post immediately but kinda couldn't :D
Anyway, like I had mentioned, naps make me hungry. The reason why I don't like napping in the afternoon is precisely that. And the fact that I take much longer to sleep off in the night and wake up cranky the next day morning. So not worth it.
Anyway, on this particular Saturday, the heat was unbearable and TH and I had exhausted the movie CDs we borrowed. With no inclination to go out whatsoever, we decided to nap, something we hardly ever do. I woke up 2 hours later feeling oh-my-god-I-am-hungry and of course, there were no snacks at home that I could immediately bite into.
Without thinking much, I grabbed 2 potatoes, grated them, threw in some this and that which I hoped would balance the taste and shallow fried into patties. The measurements are all eyeballed so adjust and add according to your taste.
They were good. Sinfully good.
Quick Potato Patties / Aloo TikkisVariations
Preparation time: 15 mins Makes: 8 - 10 patties
What I Used:
2 medium potatoes, grated
A bunch of fresh coriander leaves, chopped
1 tsp jeera / jeerakam
2 green chillies, chopped
1 generous pinch asafoetida / hing / perungayam
1/2 tsp red chilli powder
1 to 2 tbsp besan / bengal gram powder / kadala mavu
Salt to taste
How I Made It:
Grate the potatoes and add the other ingredients in. Mix welll. Make into flat patty shapes on palm of hand and shallow fry in a wide pan until golden brown on both sides.
Serve hot with ketchup. Tastes best when really hungry!
- If you have more time in hand, then add chopped onions and some minced ginger. I haven't tried that but something tells me that would taste even better.
- If you try this recipe with any differences or variations, please do come back and leave your version in the comment section. Would appreciate that.
Note:- I am working on the roundup for Monthly Mingle - Ravishing Rice. Please bear with me while I sort through some 100+ ravishing entries over the next week or so :)

Nags,I have been waiting for this recipe ever since you posted the pic;).I don't think there can be more-easier recipe for this.Maybe we can use leftover-mashed potatoes[if there are any:)]in place of grated ones?Or better still,use the aloo-mash[readymade mash potatoes]for a super quick version?
Yes, absolutely Divya :) Awesome ideas!
Bingo again! I made not-so-similar version but let us call them vegetable cutlets. Like Divya said mashed potatoes,carrots and capsicum with ginger-garlic and lemon too :D I will post it very soon :)
Zatpat nasta..! Awesome idea.
Nags, I can't see your latest posts/updates (since last 2 posts)in my Google Reader. Don't know y? Any suggestion? I don't want to miss your post anyway. :)
I am not a nap kida girl, but if I could wake up to something so delicious, I would go and have a nap NOW!!!!

This sounds amazing! I'll have to try this and add onions!

Hi there,
I came across your blog and saw that you enjoy cooking and experimenting with new recipes. Stonyfield Farm makes Oikos Organic Greek yogurt which can be used in a variety of ways while cooking – in baking, as a substitute for sour cream and mayonnaise, in dips and sauces and to create tasty low-fat dishes. Greek yogurt is strained, making it thicker and more versatile in recipes than regular yogurt. Oikos is organic, which means it's made without artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners, and it's made from organic milk produced without the use of toxic persistent pesticides, chemical fertilizers, antibiotics, or artificial growth hormones (rBST). We feel that organic is not only better for you, but better for the planet as well.
I'd love to send you coupons to give Oikos a try. If you're interested just shoot me an email at Kdrociak@stonyfield.com and let me know where to send them.
Take care,
Kristina

Awesome looking click, Nags! I totally agree with you about waking up cranky from naps. I generally don't make a habit of it either. Aloo tikkis sound so easy. Will have to try this version next time! :)
Thats a very easy to make spicy version of hash browns :)The last picture is very nice!
Oh wow awesome way to treat the untime hunger.....tikkis look yummylicious....
I think adding onions will enhance the flavour...nice clicks!
lovely, I would have added some ginger, corn flour too :)
I loved your first (stack) picture.
Ever since I have come across readymade aloo mash, I have been making tikkis very frequently. But this grated fresh potatoes sounds great ... am sure that is why they look so crispy ... boiled ones don't.
Great one Nags ... love it. :-)
Thats very easy and quick to make, never tried using grated potatoes, i'll try and bake them :)
Wow just looking to them makes me really hungry for them.
