- 2-3 tablespoons Pro V Select Indian Whole Natural Raisins (kishmish)
- 2 medium potatoes
- ¼ cup cream cheese
- A pinch of green cardamom powder
- 2 green chillies, chopped
- 3 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander leaves
- Salt to taste
- 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
- 1½ teaspoons cumin seeds
- 1½ teaspoons garam masala powder
- 1½ teaspoons red chilli powder
- 1 inch ginger, chopped
- Oil for shallow frying

Method
- Put potatoes in a pressure cooker, add water, cover and cook under pressure on medium heat till the pressure is released 2-3 times. Allow the pressure to settle completely. Drain and cool the potatoes.
- Chop 2-3 tablespoons Pro V Select Indian Whole Natural Raisins.
- Take cream cheese in a bowl, add chopped raisins, green cardamom powder, green chillies, 1 tablespoon coriander leaves and salt and mix well. This is the stuffing.
- For tikki, crumble cottage cheese in a bowl. Peel the boiled potatoes and mash directly into the bowl.
Add fresh breadcrumbs, cumin seeds, salt, garam masala powder, red chilli powder, ginger and remaining coriander leaves and mix well. - Divide both the cottage cheese mixture and the cream cheese stuffing into equal portions.
- Take each portion of the cottage cheese mixture and roll into a ball. Make a cavity in the centre and stuff with cream cheese stuffing. Gather the edges and seal properly. Flatten each portion to make a tikki.
- Heat sufficient oil in a shallow non-stick pan. Place the tikkis in it and shallow-fry on medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side. Drain on absorbent paper.
- Arrange the tikkis on a serving plate and serve hot with onion rings, lemon wedges, mint sprigs and green chutney.
