Start by boiling 8 potatoes until they're tender and mashable, then let them cool and peel. Toss those spuds into a mixing bowl and mash them like you mean it.

To this, add 10 finely chopped green chillies (for the spice warriors out there), 8 to 10 minced garlic cloves, and 1 inch of freshly grated ginger.

Amp up the texture with 1 1/2 tablespoons of roasted gram flour and 1 tablespoon of cornflour, which work their magic to hold everything together. Now, spice it up with 3 teaspoons of red chilli powder, 3 teaspoons of garam masala powder, and salt to taste—this is where the flavor party begins.

Mix it all up into a smooth, cohesive dough and shape into small, flat tikkis (about palm-sized is perfect).
- 6
Heat a generous dollop of ghee on a skillet and fry these beauties until they're golden and crispy on both sides. Meanwhile, grab 2 cups of chilled curd (aka yogurt) and whisk until it's velvety smooth.

Place the tikkis on a serving plate, then lovingly spoon that luscious curd over them until they're well-coated but still peeking out like the stars they are.

Now for the garnish sprinkle some crunchy plain sev on top for that iconic street-food crunch, add a small pinch of saffron strands for a dash of elegance, and maybe a little extra chopped coriander if you're feeling fancy.
