Sago Tikki

Bored of Alu tikki ? Try this new version. I bet you will love it.

It has almost ingredients as Sabudana Khichdi AKA jevvarisi upma.

I added onion in this, you can also skip onion for a vrat version.

Ingredients:

·         Sabudana / Jevvarisi / Tapioca Pearls – 1 cup

·         2 large size potatoes – boiled and mashed

·         Onion – 1 finely chopped

·         Ginger – ½ inch finely chopped

·         Green chili – 1 finely chopped

·         Jeera powder – ½ tsp

·         Roasted peanuts – a fist full (Coarsely crushed)

·         Coriander leaves – finely chopped

·         Salt for taste

·         Oil for shallow fry.

Preparation:

Wash and soak Sabudana overnight. (Atleast for 6 hours). It should be nylon variety, not the white mavu variety. The water level should be just as the Sabudana level.

Cook the potatoes and remove the skin and mash them.

Dry roast peanuts and crush it coarsely.

Finely chop the onion, chili, ginger, coriander leaves.

Method:

Drain the water completely from the Sabudana if there is any excess water. If you have used correct proportion of water, there will not be any excess water.

Mix all the ingredients except oil.

Make them into round balls and flat them into patties. U can grease ur palm with oil so that it does not stick in the hands. Don’t make it too thin, so flipping might be difficult.

Heat the pan, drizzle oil, roast them by flipping both the sides Careful while flipping as it may break. Cook them till they are slightly brown both the sides.

Serve it with any chutney or sauce.
