How to make Aloo Kebab

To make Crispy Aloo Kebab we need to dry roast besan till it gives out aroma and changes color.
Mash potatoes in a large mixing bowl and add in other remaining ingredients (Except oil) including powdered & whole spices.
Also add roasted chickpea flour or besan and mix everything to combine well. It should form like a dough. In case you notice that it is still wet, then add more roasted besan and mix.
Now when our Kebab dough is ready we are all set to shallow fry them.
Grease your palms with oil and divide this dough into 10-12 portions.
Take one portion and shape into Tikki or whatever shape you prefer. Here I have used a heart shaped cookie cutter to give shape.
Shallow fry in hot oil on either sides till brown and crisp.
Serve hot with chutney and onion slices.
