• ¼ tsp Black Pepper
• 400 gms Potatoes, boiled
  
  Powder together:
  
• 3 Cloves
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 3 Cardamoms
• 1" Stick Cinnamon

Method:

1. Grind together green chillies and ginger to a paste.
2. Mix together potatoes chunk, curd, black pepper, salt, chilli-ginger paste.
3. Heat ghee in a pan, add cumin seeds and curry leaves. Allow to splutter.
4. Add potato mixture and saute till oil separates.
5. Remove from flame, mix in the powdered ingredients and serve.

Tip: Always make sure that the potatoes are boiled well in advance and cooled before you use them. It would be better if they can be refrigerated for a short time. This helps the starch in the potatoes to settle down and the tikkis will not be gooey.
