Farali Pattice Recipe, How to make Farali Pattice, Pattice Recipe

October 5, 2017 by maria 4 Comments

Farali Pattice recipe –  made from mashed potatoes stuffed with coconut, peanuts is a treat for people who are fasting. This hails from the Gujarat region and quite popular in Mumbai too. Various sweet-mart and shops sell farali patties. I have been munching on this since my childhood and just love them. In-fact a lot of household’s in India make this at home.

What is farali pattice? It’s crispy from outside, pillowy from within and the stuffing gives a sweet, spicy and nutty burst of flavors in the mouth. The covering is made from mashed potatoes similar to a vegetable chop / aloo tikki or pattice. The stuffing is what which gives a different flavor and texture to this pattice. In short it’s slightly sweet with a hint of spice and coconut-nut balls deep fried or shallow fried.

The stuffing comprises mainly of fresh grated coconut, roasted peanuts, green chili for spice, raisins and cashews. You would have to taste the farali pattice to witness what I am saying. This snack is easy to make and kids would love them. Traditionally this pattice is deep fried but you could shallow fry for lesser guilt. I have eaten both ways and love them either way.

This snack is served with green spicy chutney or sweetened curd. If you are fasting then you could use chestnut flour or arrowroot flour. I have used arrowroot flour. Instead of salt use sendha namak (rock salt ) while fasting. I had served pattice with dry garlic chili chutney (lehsun chutney). Mostly farali pattice is made during Navratri.

The only preparation you would have to do is boil the potatoes. Peel off the skin mash them and place aside. You could make this over-night and keep the mashed potatoes in the fridge. The stuffing is quite simple to make and less time consuming.

For foodies like you and me, we don’t need to be fasting to make this. Make them anytime you could also make them as a quick snack or for lunch box (tiffin) and side starter. You could get best farali pattice served at Food Point Vile Parle East  and Shreeram near D-mart Kandivili East as I have eaten from there quite some time and they are quite good.

How to make Farali Pattice Recipe:

1. Pressure cook the potatoes up to 3 whistles or microwave or steam or boil them in water until tender and cooked.

2. Meanwhile roast all the nuts separately for 1-2 mins. Pestle the roasted peanuts and cashew with a mortar. Just combine all the ingredients into a mixing bowl stir well and keep aside.

3. Allow the potatoes to cool down peel their skin. Mash them with the help of fork or hand until smooth. Just take care it’s not too hot or you may burn your hand.

4. Add the arrowroot flour, salt and combine nicely. This process is to ensure the moisture dries up and the covering doesn’t crack.

5. Make 12 balls and keep aside.
