About Aloo Tikki

Alu tikki, also known as alu ki tikkia or alu ki tikki is an Indian snack made of boiled potatoes, peas, and various curry spices. It is popular in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. It is served hot with Green Chutney, Tamarind Chutney, as well as dahi (yoghurt).

Aloo Tikki are deep-fried mashed potato patties with coriander, onions and spices. Some North Indian dhabas or cafe-style eateries make sandwich with aloo tikki stuffed between two slices of bread.

I love making cutlets, this is one of the simple cutlet made with potatoes. I call them as tikki because there is no cornflour coating in them.

Traditionally this is deep fried, but I pan fried it with a little bit of oil to make it even more healthy. Still it tasted awesome. You can have it with ketchup or any of the chaat chutneys.
