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
