farali pattice recipe, how to make farali pattice recipe | farali patties

farali pattice recipe with step by step photos – farali patties is a gujarati recipe that is made during fasts. i often make these patties during navratri and also on regular days.

when i added the recipe post, i had made these stuffed patties for my mom-in-law, as she is very fond of pattices and tikkis like beetroot tikkis, paneer tikki and arbi tikkis.

the preparation of farali pattice is quite similar to the north indian aloo tikki, except for the taste. both of them have a center filling and an outer potato covering. whereas the north indian aloo tikki can be spicy, the farali pattice is sweet and mild. the ingredients that are used in the center filling for aloo tikki are totally different, than the ingredients used for farali pattice.

these patties are easily available in gujarati mithai shops in mumbai. i remember buying them when we used to go out for shopping. they can be had with curd, coriander chutney or even tomato ketchup.

in this recipe, fresh grated coconut and fresh coriander leaves are added. in the absence of fresh coconut, you could just add dessicated coconut too. you can also skip the coconut altogether, if you do not have them. instead just double the amount of peanuts, cashews and raisins.

also, for the stuffing, since raisins are added, thus you can also skip sugar. make sure to use sendha namak or rock salt instead of regular salt if making for fasting or during navratri. you can also check this farali batata vada recipe.

note: if not making for navratri or ekadashi, then you can use corn starch, rice flour or bread crumbs to bind the potatoes.

lets start step by step farali pattice recipe

preparing the potato cover:
1. boil 350 grams potatoes or 3 large potatoes in a steamer or pressure cooker till they are tender and completely cooked. in the pic there are many potatoes, they were used for another dish 🙂

2. peel and chop the boiled potatoes when still warm or slightly hot. take the potatoes in a mixing bowl.

3. mash the potatoes with a potato masher very well. allow the mashed potatoes to cool.

4. once the mashed potatoes have come to room temperature, then add 3 tbsp arrowroot flour and salt as required. since these patties are made during fasting i have added arrowroot flour. you can also add buckwheat flour (kuttu ka atta) or water chestnut flour (singhare ka atta) if making for fasting. however, arrowroot flour gives a neutral taste. if making for regular days, then add corn starch, rice flour or bread crumbs.

5. mix the arrowroot flour first.

6. then lightly knead the mixture.

7. here the potato dough is ready. cover and keep aside.

preparing the stuffing:
8. heat a small pan and add 3 tbsp peanuts.

9. roast the peanuts stirring often on a low flame till they become crunchy and have a few black spots on them. remove the peanuts and keep aside.

10. in the same pan add 3 tbsp cashews.

11. roast the cashews till you see golden spots on them.

12. keep also the cashews aside. allow them to cool.

13. in a mortar-pestle, add the peanuts and crush to a coarse mixture. you can also use a grinder to do the same. the peanuts should have small bits and pieces.

14. in the same mortar-pestle, then add the roasted cashews and just crush them lightly. you can also chop the cashews. the cashews should have small bits and pieces.

15. in a another mixing bowl, take ¼ cup tightly packed grated coconut.

16. add the peanuts and cashews.

17. then add 2 tbsp raisins (chopped), ½ tsp sugar, 1 tsp lime juice, 2 to 2.5 tbsp chopped coriander leaves and ½ tsp green chili paste (about 1 green chili crushed in mortar-pestle to a paste). you can also fresh ginger paste. (about ½ inch ginger crushed in a mortar-pestle).

18. next add 1 tsp lime juice.

24. and gently seal the edges. the filling has to be properly sealed within the potato mixture, so that while frying the pattice do not break. flatten the pattice slightly. you can also apply some oil in your hands while flattening and stuffing the pattice. i have flattened the patties for ease of shallow frying. if you plan to deep fry, then no need to flatten them. if the pattice breaks from a place, then just cover it with a small piece of the potato dough and press to even it.

25. prepare all the pattices this way.

26. heat 3 tbsp oil or 2 tbsp ghee in a tava or griddle. coat the pattice with arrow root flour. dust off the excess flour from the pattice. this step is optional and you can also skip it.
