Stuffed Potato Patties – Alu Tikki<br />

Within Bengal there is a vegetarian tradition where no garlic and onions are used and certain vegetables<br />

and pulses (legumes) are forbidden. Such food is supposed to be eaten by widows. While many women<br />

have followed these rules, they have created from adversity some of Bengal’s most delicious dishes. This<br />

is one of them. Serve with a salad or as part of an Indian meal.<br />

Ingredients<br />

4 small-medium (450g / 1lb) peeled potatoes<br />

1 ¼ tsp salt<br />

1 tsp black peppercorns<br />

¼ tsp fennel seeds<br />

2.5cm / 1 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped<br />

5-6 fresh hot green chillies, finely chopped<br />

about 5 tbsp vegetable oil<br />

50g/2oz/ ½ cup shelled peas (frozen peas, defrosted well, may be used)<br />

50g/2oz/ ½ - ¾ cup cauliflower cut into 1cm/ ½ inch pieces<br />

½ tsp sugar<br />

150g/5oz/ 1-cup plain (all purpose white) flour<br />

Method<br />

Boil the potatoes until cooked. Mash well with ¾ tsp salt<br />

Put the peppercorns and fennel seeds into a clean coffee grinder. Grind to a fine powder. Put the ginger,<br />

chillies and the ground black pepper mixture into the container of an electric blender. Add 100ml/3 ½ fl<br />

oz/ ½ cup water. Blend to a fine paste.<br />

Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a small pan over medium heat. When hot, add the vegetables, spice paste,<br />

remaining salt and the sugar. Stir and fry for 6-8 minutes over medium-low heat until the vegetable are<br />
