Alu tikki chole

Chole
Soak and boil (pressure cook for 15 mins. Some people add a tea bag for dark brown colour. Suggest adding whole spices - badi elaichi, cinnamon, cloves and a red chilli) chick peas. Or buy can.
Gravy - onion, garlic, ginger, tomatoes. Grind, saute in good amount of oil. Add salt, chilli powder, garam masala, jeera powder, turmeric (just a dot). Once this has cooked, and the oil separates, add the boiled chana and let it simmer or pressure cook for two whistles. The consistency should be thick. Not watery. To do that, you could mash up some of the chana.

Tikki
Mash boiled potatoes. Add green chilli, coriander, salt, bread crumbs. Shape into tikkis and shallow fry on tava.

While serving, hot hot crisp on the outside tikkis, chole on top, chopped onions, coriander, sweet tamarind chutney, green chutney, dahi(optional, but  like)
 Totally makeable. Tastes fantastic even without the chutneys.
