Title: Veg Tikki Chole

Ingredients:
– 2 medium boiled potatoes, mashed
– 1 cup boiled chickpeas
– 1/2 cup bread crumbs
– 1/2 cup finely chopped mixed vegetables (carrots, beans, peas)
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 green chilies, finely chopped
– 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
– 1 teaspoon garam masala
– 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
– 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
– 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
– Salt to taste
– Oil for shallow frying

Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, onions, green chilies, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into round tikkis or patties. Ensure they are compact and hold their shape.
3. Heat a non-stick pan with a little oil over medium heat. Place the tikkis on the pan and shallow fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
4. Once the tikkis are cooked through and crisp, remove them from the pan and set them aside on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
5. For the chole, in a separate pot, heat a little oil and add the boiled chickpeas along with garam masala, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for a few minutes to allow the spices to meld with the chickpeas.
6. Add some water to achieve the desired consistency for the chole. Let it simmer for a few more minutes until the flavors have combined beautifully.
7. To serve, place the crispy veg tikkis on a plate and ladle the hot chole over them. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra zing.
8. Enjoy the Veg Tikki Chole hot with some steamed rice or naan for a complete and satisfying meal that is bursting with authentic Indian flavors.
