Aloo tikki is a popular North Indian street food, there are so many chaat recipes which uses aloo tikki as base.Aloo tikki or potato tikki is made with potatoes/aloo as main ingredient,served with chat chutneys both sweet chutney and green chutney.Aloo tikki is also known as aloo pattice or aloo patties. I make veg cutlet often for mittu as thats one of the few ways I sneak in veggies for her, and to me aloo tikki sounded like a simplified version of veg cutlet :)I saw a aloo tikki recipe with chana dal filling but I wanted to make a simple aloo tikki this time as I planned for a chaat recipe using the tikkis. I have tasted aloo tikki few times and the best one I liked is at Agarwals, guess they use ghee for toasting and it tastes yum…yes thats a sinful indulgence:) Weather here is demanding some hot fried snacks and this one fitted the bill aptly…I just clicked them today but couldnt wait to share the recipe so here I am with the aloo tikki recipe. You can serve it with sweet and green chutney or with just tomato ketchup, either ways it tastes yum , but my vote is for sweet chutney 🙂 Pin If you have any more questions about this aloo tikki do mail me at [email protected].

Expert Tips
You can add 1/2 tablespoon rice flour / cornflour if the dough becomes watery,but dont add more as the tikkis will become hard. Coating them with breadcrumbs then toasting gives a crispy outer layer and soft inside. You can even add 1/4 cup boiled peas along with potato. I used my potato masher to mash the potatoes, if you don’t have one then mash it well with a laddle. The dough should be tight enough to hold together, if the dough is watery / runny then your tikkis will break when you toast them. Alternatively you can deep fry them too.But if prefer to deep fry then add cornflour with the dough to make it stiff. If you are toasting, toast in low medium heat. Flip over the tikkis gently while toasting them in tawa. I used my cast iron dosa tawa to toast, you can even use nonstick dosa tawa. Replace chat masala powder with amchur powder whichever is available , use that. You can even stuff boiled channa dal / sprouts inside the tikkis for taste variation. You can even toast the tikkis in ghee.
