Instructions
 

MAKING OF POTATO PATTIES

  • Grate boiled potatoes.
  • Add cornflour, salt and red chilli powder.
  • First mix everything together.
  • Bring together into a form of dough.
  • Take a portion of dough and flatten it on your greased palm.
  • Put a tbsp of chopped cashews and raisins in the middle.
  • Seal the edges in a way that nuts get locked in the middle.
  • First roll it.
  • Then flatten it and give a shape of Pattie.
  • Likewise make patties out of entire dough. Size of Pattie is your personal choice.
  • Put into the greased air fryer basket and apply oil over the patties.
  • Air fry @200°C for 18-20 minutes. Flip the sides during the middle time.
  • Once they turn brown, take them out.
  • If you don't have oven, you can bake or shallow fry the patties till they turn brown.

MAKING OF CASHEWS PASTE.

  • Add Cashews, onion, green chilies, ginger and garlic in a sauce pan alongwith water.
  • Boil 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
  • Grind to a fine paste.

COOKING OF ALOO AKBARI

  • Take oil in a pan. We have used the same oil in which patties were shallow fried.
  • Add cashews paste.
  • Also add kashmiri red chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala and salt.
  • Mix well.
  • Let the paste cook until you see it bubbling and leaving the sides of the pan.
  • Add water, kasuri methi, mint leaves and coriander leaves. Give them a good mix. Let gravy begin to boil.
  • Give them a good mix.
  • Let gravy begin to boil.
  • Now either you put patties direct into the gravy or arrange patties in a serving dish and pour hot gravy over patties. We preferred the later one.
  • Enjoy with naan, paratha or even rice
