In a deep pan, heat some oil and add asafoetida, carom seeds, chopped garlic, chopped ginger, chopped green chilies, and chopped onions. Sauté until the onions are light brown and fragrant. Once they reach that stage, add choley masala and amchur powder, giving it a quick stir. Next, add the boiled chana, mashed potatoes, salt, and black salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes while mashing the mixture while it's still hot. Afterward, incorporate freshly chopped coriander. Shape this mixture into patty (tikki) forms. |
