Potato Tikkis


Potato tikkis are the most simple snack according to me.It just takes 7 to 10min if you have boiled potatoes made beforehand.Winter evenings kids crave for some good snacks.Anything served hot always makes your family members happy.Today as I was little lazy so made these tikkis in a very shortcut way.This can be given to kids in their tiffin boxes too.

Method


  •  Take a grater and grate finely ginger,garlic,green chillies and onion.Put it in a bowl.

  •  Now add mashed potatoes,salt,red chilli powder in the bowl and mix it very well with your hand.You donot need water.If you need you can just add a spoonfull of water.
