Method:
first boil the potatoes , and then remove its skin. Now apply some oil to your hands and start mashing the potatoes, the reason behind the application of oil to the hands is that the mashed potatoes pulp doesn't stick to the hands, keep the mashed pulp aside, now take a frying pan now heat some oil in it and now wash the minced meat such that the meat is not washed away this step is only to maintain a higher state of hygiene , not washing will also do , since it will be cooked at high temperatures now put this in the pan , now add ginger garlic paste to it and fry it for some time after the moisture is extracted from the meat , add red chili powder and mix well , then add half glass of water to it , for it to cook, now let it cook till the water evaporates , then take of the flames and let it cool , now apply some oil to the hands , then take the mashed potatoes and make small circular
shapes of zero thickness out of it the size should be about th palm of your hands ,now fill the minced meat into it cover it and again make circular shapes out of it but this time there should be some amount of thickness associated with it, this is called the pattis .Now dip the pattis in the bread crump powder , while this is being done take a frying pan , now shallow fry the pattis , till they colour turns brownish, Repeat the process for all pattis's .
