Sweet and tangy potato cakes flavoured with beetroot and Indian gooseberries

Hari says

These are a great way to use fresh beetroot and gooseberries or 'amla' to make a wonderful alternative to aloo tikki's. The vivid purple colour looks amazing on the plate but more then that they have a delicate sweetness combined with the sharp, tang of the amla which is just delicious. They taste fresh and new perfect for a summer side dish. They can also be coated in chickpea flour and fried too.
