Alu Tikka

Come winters.. And you always crave to eat something hot and spicy..
Potato has always been a favourite vegetable among all age groups alike.. And baby potatoes has been associated with making a dish fancy..  So why not make alu tikka with baby potatoes and enjoy the winters with this warm potato snack..
Generally the base of any kind of marination is that of curd.. For alu tikka i have made a marination of tomato as base with all our indian spices.. It is tangy and the taste lingers on our taste buds for long..


Ingredients:
10-12 baby potato boiled with skin and flattened slightly with hand
For marination
1tsp jeera
4-5 green chillies
1 tomato chopped
Salt to taste
1tsp Dhaniya powder
1/2 tsp Red chilli powder
1/4 tsp Hing powder
1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
1tsp ginger chopped
For tadka
2tsp ghee
1tsp jeera
Method: For marination: heat pan and dry roast jeera and green chillies. Grind in mixi with all other ingredients. Remove in a bowl and add in baby potatoes.. Mix with light hands and rest this for an hour.. Then put potato in skewers. For tadka : Now in same pan heat  ghee. Add jeera. Put potato skewers in it and cook from both sides till crisp... Apply more marination on top of potatoes while roasting in ghee... Remove in a plate and serve hot with onion and lemon.

Note: Incase you find it too tangy you can add in 1/2tsp sugar in the marination to tone down the flavour.. But i like it this way only, without sugar..
                                          Put the ingredients of marination in a mixer jar
                                          Boil baby potatoes and press slightly with hand                                          
                                          Grind marination to a smooth paste
                                           Add in potatoes and mix lightly and leave for an hr
                                           Put in skewers..
Heat ghee and add jeera.. Put potato skewers and roast well till crisp on both sides..
Serve warm with onion and lemon..
