​Aloo Tikki is one of the popular snacks, not only in India but also in neighbouring countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh etc. It is a delicious snacks made of boiled mashed potatoes and spices. There are different ways of making aloo tikki, one is stuffing channa dal and the other is simply patty which is quick and easy to make. Tikkis can be deep fried, pan fried or shallow fried. Here is an innovative recipe of Aloo Tikki –Aloo Poha Tikki. I have used poha (flatten rice) and made the recipe more interesting and delicious. The potatoes are boiled and mashed, then mixed with spices and made into tikkis. The tikkis are then coated in poha(flatten rice) and deep fried in oil.
