Recipe for Cheesy Corn Aloo Tikki

I was first heard of Corn Cheese Aloo Tikki when my accountsProfessor in Management college Professor Natika asked me if I could make thesefor a college event. I was so lost and said I don’t know how to make these butI can always ask my helpers if they do. But none of my helpers were confidentof a good recipe. Ofcourse, I did not take up that order back then but I washell bent on learning how to make these. I mean izzat ka sawaal types hehe. Itried many recipes after watching youtube videos of Corn Cheese Aloo Tikki butfailed miserably and some I was just not convinced that it would work. Theywere either breaking or just turning blah and I ended up wasting a lot ofingredients. I eventually gave up.

I’m not so well versed with Veg dishes, but afterunderstanding ingredients, taste and techniques of food over the years and afterlearning something or the other from each failed recipe, after 11 years Ifinally mastered the Corn Cheese Aloo Tikki. I wish I could go back to collegewith this dish and treat Natika Ma’m to these beauties 😊😊

Ingredients

2 Big Potatoes(Peeled, Boiled with a little salt till soft and Mashed)
100gms sweet corn kernels(boiled with a little salt)
2 slice bread(dry grind in a mixer grinder)
1 Tspn Cumin seed Powder
1/2 Tspn Kashmiri Chilly Powder
1/2 Tspn Ginger Garlic paste
1/2 Tspn Chaat masala(optional)
1/Tspn Black pepper Powder
2 Tspn Lemon Juice or 1 Tspn Amchur Powder
2 spicy green chillies chopped fine
1 small onion chopped fine
7-8 sprigs of fresh coriander with stem chopped fine
2 Tspn Corn Flour
200gms Refrigerated Cheddar cheese Block(cut into 1inch cubes)

Instructions

In a bowl, hand mix all these ingredients well to form a firm paste
Make balls of 30gms each of the Tikki paste
Lightly grease your palms with some oil so that the potatoes don't stick to your palms and it becomes easy to work with it
Note: Since this is a vegetarian recipe and thereis no egg, the bread powder acts as a binding agent and prevents the tikkisfrom breaking when fried
Take each ball and flatten it on your palm and place the cheese piece in the centre
Cover the tikki by bringing the potato paste together from the sides
Shape all the tikkis in this manner and place it on a tray. Tuck the tray into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes
Note: We use Blocks of cheese and not a slice or shredded cheese because when frying the tikkis, the shredded cheese or sliced cheese will melt faster and will start oozing out of the tikki. Block cheesewill take time to melt so by the the cheese melts the cutlet is also ready onboth sides otherwise the cutlet may remain undercooked if the cheese begins to melt quickly

Note: We chill the tikkis for a bit so that the cheese becomes cold. If the cheese is at room temperature, it tends to melt faster that when it is refrigerated. Hence, to be on the safer side, let the tikkis chill for a bit
Then, in a Pan, heat oil on medium heat and once the oil turns Hot, transfer the tikkis into the pan and fry it or 3-4 minutes till it gets a crispy coat
Note: ensure that the oil is not too hot or else the tikkis will get burnt
Flip the tikkis to the other side and fry it for another 3-4 minutes and transfer them on to a Kitchen paper towel or napkin to get rid of any excess oil
Enjoy these super delicious Cheesy Aloo Corn tikkis hot with a dash of Ketchup. Yummmmmmmmzo!!
