1/4 cup Tapioca flour

1 teaspoon Red chilli powder

1 teaspoon Dried mint leaves

Himalayan salt (Sendha Namak)

3 tablespoons Oil

Instructions

  1. This is how raw banana looks like.
  2. To begin with, pressure-cook the bananas and potatoes with their peel on. Cook them for about 3 whistles or 10 minutes. Do not rush through this process as we want the bananas to be soft and tender to make a smooth mash.
  3. Remove from water and allow them to cool. When comfortable to touch, peel potatoes and banana. Transfer it to a big bowl.
  4. Mash potatoes and banana with a fork or potato masher.
  5. Stir in all the spices and add Tapioca flour.
  6. Grease your hands and shape tikkis.
  7. Heat a heavy bottomed pan and add tikkis to it.
  8. Cook tikkis for 8-10 minutes on low flame, turning occasionally until evenly browned on both sides.

Serve with Phalhari green chutney.
