  • ¾ cup desiccated coconut
  • 1 cup coriander leaves
  • ½ cup grated potatoes
  • 2 tbsp chopped cashews
  • 2 tbsp chopped kismiss
  • 1 tbsp fennel seeds
  • 2 tbsp white sesame seeds
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 3 tbsp sugar powder
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • ¼ cup pomegranate seeds

For farali pattice outer layer

  • 6 medium size or 1 kg grated potatoes
  • ¾ arrowroot powder - tapkir flour
  • Salt to taste
  • Other ingredient
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  • In a pressure cooker, place a wire rack and add 6 medium-sized or 1 kg potatoes on it.
  • Cover the lid and cook on medium flame for 6–7 whistles.
  • When the pressure cooker releases its pressure naturally, then open the lid.
  • If the potatoes are properly cooked, remove their skin. Keep them aside.
  • Now in a mixer jar, add 3–4 spicy green chillies, 1 inch ginger, and ¾ cup roasted peanuts.
  • Without adding water, coarsely crush it using pulse grinding.
  • Then add 1 cup coriander leaves and grind it again using pulse grinding.
  • Green masala is ready; take it out into a mixing bowl.
  • Now add ¾ cup desiccated coconut, ½ cup grated boiled potatoes, 2 tbsp chopped cashews, 2 tbsp chopped kismis, 1 tbsp fennel seeds, 2 tbsp white sesame seeds, salt to taste, 1 tsp garam masala, 3 tbsp powdered sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and ¼ cup pomegranate seeds.
  • Mix well; stuffing is ready. Make small stuffing balls and keep them aside.
  • When the boiled potatoes are slightly hot, grate them with a grater.
  • Add salt and ¾ cup arrowroot powder (tapkir flour) gradually and bind the mixture.
  • Grease your hands slightly with oil, and smooth the outer layer.
  • Take a ball from the prepared outer layer mixture and roll it into a little arrowroot powder (tapkir flour).
  • Then place the ball into a lemon machine and make a cavity in the centre.
  • Place a small stuffing ball in the middle and, lifting from the edges, close the pattice.
  • Give it a ball shape. Then lightly coat it with flour. (Refer video)
  • Prepare all pattice in the same way.
  • Now heat oil on medium flame and fry 4–5 pattice at a time.
  • Once they are slightly cooked, turn them over and cook till golden brown.
  • Take all the fried pattice on a paper napkin and serve hot with chutney or curd.

Notes

  • Steam the potatoes in a pressure cooker using water steam. Do not cook the potatoes directly in water.
  • Pulse-grind the roasted peanuts to a coarse texture.
  • The proportion of peanuts and desiccated coconut should be equal. You can also use fresh grated coconut as an alternative.
  • Boiled potatoes provide binding to the petties mixture.
  • Prepare the outer layer of the petties while the boiled potatoes are still slightly warm.
  • Gradually add tapkir (arrowroot powder) to the mashed potatoes until the mixture binds well. Do not add too much flour.
  • Lightly coat the potato balls with tapkir flour to prevent them from sticking while shaping the petties.
  • Fry the petties on a medium-low flame.
