Categories     Potato

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 patties

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 medium potatoes
2 tablespoons grated coconut
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
2 fresh green chilies, minced
1 tablespoon fresh coriander leaves, minced
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 cups all purpose white flour
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
2 teaspoons melted butter
1/2 cup water (just enough to make a nice dough)
ghee or vegetable oil, for frying (You can deep fry or shallow fry.)

Steps:

  • Prepare the filling first, so that it will be cool by the time the dough is ready.
  • If you spread it while hot, it will make holes in the dough.
  • Boil the potatoes (whole and with the skins on) until soft.
  • Rinse under cool water and peel.
  • Mash with fork (I put it through a ricer).
  • Add grated coconut and next 8 ingredients.
  • Spread the mixture on a surface to cool.
  • Mix flour, turmeric, cayenne together in a large bowl.
  • Rub in the melted butter, then add the water slowly and mix into a dough.
  • Knead until soft.
  • Roll out dough on a well floured surface (or wax paper) into a rectangle (about 1/8 inch thick).
  • In other words quite thin.
  • Spread the cooled mixture evenly.
  • Roll up into a tight roll.
  • Using a sharp, serrated knife, cut into slices of 1/2 inch/1 cm thick.
  • Press them flat and form the slices so they are round and place on a platter.
  • Heat the ghee or oil in a wok or deep fry pan.
  • Fry for 3-5 minutes on each side, turning once, until golden brown.
  • Serve hot with chutney.

I had some trouble getting the Alu Patras to stay together. I think I might have used too much oil.

The Alu Patras were a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.
