I tried this recipe from Lakshmi and it was amazing!!
I did my version by changing the recipe for the cutlets.And it was very very tasty!!
For cutlets(patties)
potatoes : 2
Tomato: 1/2
Onion: 1/2
chilli powder, turmeric and salt.
Add couple of spoons cornflour and make them into cutlets and shallow fry them on a pan

For gravy

Black channa (chick peas) - 2 cups
tamarind pulp 1/2 cup
Jaggery - 2tbsp
Jeera - 1 tsp
Chana masala - 3 tsp
Chilli powder - 1 tsp
Salt to taste
Soak the chana overnight and cook them in a pressure cooker.Soak the tamrind in hot water and take the pulp out of it.Fry jeera in oiland add chana along with the water.Add salt, chana masala and chilli powder to it.Now add tamarind pulp, jaggery and let it boil for few minutes on a medium heat only.Mix well and leave it on the stove on a low flame only.u can add water if u want to make thick gravy.
Garnish with onions, tomatoes and coriander and then add a dollop of yoghurt and squeeze lemon on top!!
And what a perfect snack!!
