Avarekalu Tikki Recipe

Step 1: To begin making the Avarekalu Tikki Recipe Recipe, first prep all the ingredients and keep them ready

Step 2: Boil the potatoes in the pressure cooker, peel and keep them aside

Step 3: In the same pressure cooker add the avarekalu with some water and salt and boil it for 3 whistles

Step 4: Leave it aside to release the pressure naturally

Step 5: In a bowl, add in both the boiled regular potatoes and sweet potatoes, cooked avarekalu beans, a teaspoon of grated ginger, two roughly chopped green chilies, a large finely chopped onion, spice powder, chopped mint leaves, coriander leaves and some salt to taste

Step 6: Use your hand to mash them until the potatoes are coarsely mashed and all the ingredients come together

Step 7: Once it is mixed well, shape them into kebabs or tikkis

Step 8: Grease your fingers with a little oil and shape the potato dough into bite size tikkis or large lemon size balls

Step 9: Proceed the similar way with the remaining mixture

Step 10: You can also shape the dough in the form of a cylinder like the kebabs, dust them in breadcrumbs and insert them into a skewer and grill them

Step 11: I will now place the tikkis over a heated flat pan for about 15 minutes on either side until lightly browned

Step 12: Drizzle some oil on each of the tikkis

Step 13: If you want it to be crisper then you can drizzle some more oil on top of the aloo tikkis

Step 14: The oil will give them a soft and yet crisp texture
