Ingredients
For the Aloo Tikki
- 1 bowl Potatoes mashed
- 1 cup Vegetables finely chopped, mixed
- 1 tbsp Coriander Powder roasted
- 1 tsp Garam Masala
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
For Shallow Frying
For Serving (Optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, finely chopped mixed vegetables, roasted coriander powder, garam masala, and salt.
- Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. This ensures even distribution of flavors throughout the Aloo Tikki.
- Take a small portion of the potato mixture and shape it into a patty. Repeat this process with the remaining mixture.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough to prevent the tikkis from absorbing too much oil.
- Carefully place the potato patties in the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the skillet. This allows for even cooking and browning.
- Shallow fry the tikkis for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Flipping ensures even cooking on both sides.
- Remove the cooked Aloo Tikki from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve the crispy Aloo Tikki hot with your choice of coriander chutney, yogurt or curd, tomato sauce or ketchup, and a sprinkle of chaat masala.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra crispiness, dust each tikki lightly with rice flour or fine semolina before frying—this creates a thin, crunchy exterior while keeping the inside soft.
- If you want a stuffed variation, place a small amount of spiced peas or paneer mixture in the center of the potato mash before shaping each tikki.
- To prep ahead, shape the tikkis and refrigerate them on a tray for up to 24 hours; this helps them firm up and hold their shape better during frying.
- For a gluten-free snack, ensure any added breadcrumbs or binding agents are gluten-free, or substitute with crushed poha (flattened rice) for binding and texture.
Expert Tips
- Don't overmix the potato mixture, as this can make the tikkis dense. Gently combine the ingredients until just mixed.
- For even cooking, ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the tikkis. Test by dropping a small piece of the mixture into the oil – it should sizzle gently.
- Serve the tikkis hot with your favorite chutneys and a side of yogurt for a complete and satisfying meal.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover tikkis in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or oven until heated through.
