Ingredients:

  • 4 large potatoes, boiled and mashed
  • 1/2 cup boiled green peas
  • 1-2 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
  • 1-inch ginger, grated
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs or poha (flattened rice), soaked and squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon amchur (dry mango powder)
  • 1/2 teaspoon chaat masala
  • 2-3 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for shallow frying

For Serving:

  • Green chutney
  • Tamarind chutney
  • Yogurt
  • Sev (thin gram flour noodles)
  • Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
  • Red chili powder
  • Chaat masala

Instructions:

1. Preparing the Potato Mixture:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine mashed potatoes, boiled green peas, chopped green chilies, grated ginger, soaked and squeezed bread crumbs or poha, cumin seeds, garam masala, red chili powder, amchur, chaat masala, chopped fresh coriander leaves, and salt.
  2. Mix well to form a uniform mixture. Adjust seasoning as needed.

2. Shaping and Frying the Tikki:

  1. Divide the mixture into equal-sized portions and shape them into round, flat patties (tikkis).
  2. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  3. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the tikkis into the pan.
  4. Shallow-fry the tikkis until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides.
  5. Remove excess oil by placing the tikkis on a paper towel.

3. Serving:

  1. Serve the Aloo Tikkis hot.
  2. Garnish with green chutney, tamarind chutney, yogurt, sev, chopped coriander leaves, a sprinkle of red chili powder, and chaat masala.

Tips:

  • If the mixture is too soft and difficult to shape into patties, you can refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
  • You can add a stuffing of paneer, boiled peas, or nuts to the tikkis for added flavor.
  • Adjust the spiciness by varying the amount of green chilies and red chili powder.

Aloo Tikki is a versatile and scrumptious snack that’s loved by all ages. Enjoy these crispy and spicy potato patties with your favorite chutneys and a dash of yogurt!
