For the Chole
- 1 bowl Chickpeas chole/chana, prepared amritsari or punjabi chole
- 1/2 cup Onion chopped
- 1/4 cup Coriander Leaves chopped
- 1/2 cup Mint-Coriander Chutney or plain coriander chutney

Instructions
- Boil or steam the potatoes until they are fork-tender.
- While the potatoes are still warm, peel and mash them thoroughly.
- In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the cumin seeds, coriander powder, fennel powder, red chili powder, dry mango powder, dry ginger powder, chaat masala, and salt.
- Add the corn flour to the potato mixture. This helps bind the tikkis and create a crispy exterior.
- Mix all the ingredients until well combined.
- Shape the potato mixture into medium-sized patties.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Shallow fry the potato patties until golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through.
- To assemble the Aloo Tikki Chole, place the prepared chole in a serving bowl.
- Top the chole with the crispy aloo tikkis.
- Drizzle generously with mint-coriander chutney and tamarind-date chutney.
- Garnish with chopped onions, a sprinkle of chaat masala, and sev (optional).
- For an extra layer of flavor, add a dollop of yogurt (optional).
- Serve the Aloo Tikki Chole immediately and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs instead of boneless, skinless breasts.
- Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more or less chili powder or cayenne pepper.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the chicken. Work in batches to ensure even cooking and a nice sear.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover chicken and sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
