During Ekadashis we are supposed to fast and constantly think and chant about Lord Krishna. We usually fast from grains and beans and take fruits, milk, peanuts, sago (javvarisi), upma etc.
Tikkis are one more thing that we can offer the Lord and honor during Ekadashis.
Cooking time: 10 mins.
Prep time: 15 mins.
Makes for a family of 4.
Ingredients:
Boiled, peeled, mashed potatoes - 3 or 4 medium size
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp.
Salt - as needed
Chilly powder - as needed
Dry mango powder - 1 tsp
Dhania powder - 1 tsp
Jeera Powder - 1 tsp
Olive Oil - for shallow fry
Mix all of the ingredients and make it as a thick bonda like batter. Make round, flat 2 inch diameter patties and place it on the pan. Add little oil to the sides. After 3 or 4 minutes turn it over and cook the other side. About 3 or 4 can be made on a small sized pan at the same time. The tikkis should be golden brown when you take it out.
Offer it to the Lord, cool it and serve with coriander chutney or mint or tamarind chutney of your choice.
