Have you ever had Aloo Tikki Chaat? These are delicious potato patties that are considered popular street food in India, topped with savory yogurt & mint chutney, sharp onions and the crispiness of sev.
Boil potatoes - Pour water into a pot and sprinkle salt in. Add the potatoes to a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil on medium heat, and boil until the potatoes are fork tender. Drain, and let the potatoes cool.
Soak the bread - After boiling the potatoes, let them cool. While they are cooling, add the torn bread and milk to a large mixing bowl. Let the bread soak with the milk and set aside.
Mash and mix - Once the boiled potatoes are cool to touch, remove the peels from the potatoes. Place the potatoes in a bowl, and mash with a fork or a potato masher. Add in the bread & milk mixture, and the spices. Mix well.
Scoop it up - Sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs onto a sheet tray in an even layer. Using a 1 ½ tablespoon ice cream scoop, scoop out the potato mixture onto the sheet tray with the panko breadcrumbs into a potato patty.
Cover in breadcrumbs - Using your hand, smash down on the potato balls so the breadcrumbs stick to one side of the potatoes, then flip over carefully using your hands to encrust the other side with panko breadcrumbs.
