Add all the stuffing ingredients except oil and mash briefly. Divide the mixture into 10 equal portions and keep aside. Peel the potatoes and mash them very finely into smooth mashed potatoes. Add salt and pepper and knead until properly mixed. Divide it into 10 equal portions. Now wash and dry your hands and rub them with little oil. Take each portion of potato mixture and make a ball. Taking one at a time, gently flatten each ball into a round patty of about 1/2-inch thick and place a portion of stuffing in the center and fold the edges together very finely so that mixture does not come out. Now very gently flatten it into a 2-inch patty. Repeat the procedure for all pieces. Heat 1 tsp oil in a non-stick pan over a low heat. Slip in the patties, not too many at a time, and pan-fry on both sides till crisp golden brown, adding oil if required, on a very low heat. Serve Aloo Tikki hot with chutney and stirred curd. Boil potatoes until fork-tender. Preferably, potatoes should be boiled well in advance before use. It would be better if they can be refrigerated for a short time.
