Potato-Pea Croquettes with a Tomato-Jaggery Sauce

Bite-size savory morsels are called tikkis. These easy-to-make croquettes are a favorite in northwestern India. The layers of sweet, hot, tart, and nutty, created with simple ingredients, exemplify what a curry is all about. A few pointers on what kinds of bread not to use in this recipe: none with flavors, whole-wheat grain, or bran, and definitely no overly soft white bread. Pepperidge Farm and Arnold loaves are perfect. It’s all right to use the heels of the bread.
