Aloo Tikki
A simple and easy patty recipe made with boiled and mashed potatoes. The potato-based tikki is the foundation for many recipes like sandwich, burger,and many chaat recipes. Dish can be served with green chutney or tamarind chutney as starters.
Some easy and important tips. Firstly, you need to be very careful while boiling the potatoes. you can use a pressure cooker to boil these but has to be removed from water immediately the pressure is released. Otherwise the potatoes may absorb water and may not attain the tikki shape. Secondly, I have added oats powder which bind the veggies together, you can also use Bread Crumbs for same. Lastly, I have shallow fried these patties for less oil consumption. Alternatively you can also deep fry for a better crisp.
