Sindhi Aloo Tikki

I always like bugging people around… But the best is when I keep asking about their secret recipes! I didn’t much try my hands on Sindhi Cuisine before. But since I got to taste ‘Sindhi Kadhi’ from one of my aunty’s neighbour (I’m always available if it’s about tasting :P), I thought of trying few more of her traditional recipes!
Here is something that you will definitely love as an appetizer… “Stuffed Aloo Tikki”, Sindhi Style :)

1/4 cup Grated Paneer
1 tsp Dried Anardana (Pomegranate seeds)
