Instructions
Prepare the Tikkis

- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Shallow fry the tikkis until they are golden brown and crispy.
Prepare the Cholle (Chickpea Curry)
- In a pan, heat oil and sauté chopped onions and tomatoes until softened. Add coriander powder, and red chili powder, and cook for a minute.
- Add the cooked cholle (chickpeas) and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in garam masala, chaat masala, and raw mango powder. Adjust salt to taste.
Assemble and Serve
- Place a tikki on a plate. Top with chopped tomato and onion. Drizzle with yogurt and tamarind chutney. Sprinkle chaat masala on top. Serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Tikki Cholle:
- For extra crispy tikkis, ensure the potatoes are well-mashed and the mixture isn't too wet. Add a little extra breadcrumbs if needed.
- Soaking the chickpeas overnight significantly reduces cooking time and improves their texture. Pressure cooking ensures they're tender and fluffy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the tikkis; fry them in batches to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- Feel free to customize the spice level to your preference. Adjust the amount of red chili powder and green chilies accordingly.
