Instructions
Rinse the sweet potatoes thoroughly in water.
Roast them in the oven till they are soft and cooked.
You can also boil them in a pan with water and salt.
Or else pressure cook with enough water and salt till they become soft.
To pressure cook place the sweet potatoes in a 3 litre pressure cooker. Add water as needed covering the sweet potatoes.
Pressure cook for 3 to 4 whistles on medium heat. When the pressure drops naturally in the cooker, then only open the lid.
Drain the water, let them cool and peel.
With a potato masher, mash the sweet potatoes well.
Add all the ingredients except oil. Mix well.
Shape into medium sized cutlet, tikkis or patties.
Pan fry the patties with oil till both the sides are well browned.
Garnish with some coriander leaves.
Serve Sweet Potato Cutlet with a chutney.
Notes
If the mixture feels a little loose, then add some more arrowroot flour, buckwheat flour, amaranth flour or water chestnut flour.
When making these cutlets for Hindu fast or vrat, add edible rock salt only. Don't use regular salt for fasting food.
If you are not making these tikki for religious fasting, then instead of rock salt you can use regular salt.
If you don't have dried mango powder, then add a bit of lemon juice.
The spice powders and lemon juice can be adjusted as per your taste preferences.
