Dabara recipe is the delicacy of jammu sold as a famous street food.
Ingredients
- 3-4 Potatoes boiled
- 1 Onion
- 1/4 cup Green peas boiled
- 1/2 cup Paneer/Cottage Cheese crumbled
- 1/4 tsp Carom Seeds
- Salt as per taste
- 1 tbsp Coriander leaves
- 2 Green chilies
- 1/2 tsp Red chilly powder
- 1 tbsp Ginger grated
- 1.5 cup Gram flour
- Water at room temperature.
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Take a bowl and mash potatoes with the masher in it.
- crumble cheese, Chop the onion, green chilli and coriander leaves and add to the mashed potatoes. Then add grated ginger. You can also add green peas. As they were not available with me at this point, so i skipped them.
- Further add salt, red chilli powder in the potatoes and mix them properly. Preferably use hand to mix them.
- Take the required potato mixture in your palm and give it a shape of round tikki. Make all tikkis and place them in a plate and keep aside.
- 5.Take another bowl and sieve gram flour in it. Make a batter with water. Be careful while adding water because the batter should neither be too thick nor too runny.
- Add carom seeds and add salt in it. Mix properly.
- Heat oil in a pan. Take the tikki one by one, carefully dip in a batter of gram flour so that it is properly coated with the batter.
- Then fry it in the oil over medium to high flame. When the tikki changes its colour to golden brown, bring it out of the oil and place on a paper napkin to remove excess oil.
- Your Dabaras are ready. Serve them with Tomato Ketchup or any sauce/chutney of your liking.
