Who wouldn't love them..With its origins in UP and nicknamed as mumbai street food their popularity has spread to entire South Asia..

This is one of my favorite among them

Anything with Aloo..

Aloo tikki


Potatoes-5-6(medium sized)
Onions-cut in small sizes-2 tablespoons(optional)
Chaat Masala-1 tsp
grated ginger-1/2 tsp
garam masala-1 tsp
corn flour-1 tbsp
Green chillies finely chopped
salt-as needed
coriander leaves-few
bread crumbs-half cup
oil-as needed

Method
Pressure cook potatoes for a couple of whistles.Peeel and grate them.

Take grated potatoes in another bowl. Add onions(they are optional, I love when onions and aloos come together hence added)corn flour, grated ginger, coriander leaves, finely chopped green chilli, garam masala powder,chaat masala and salt.

Mix them to prepare smooth dough like mixture. Divide mixture into 12 equal portions and roll them into small size balls.

Take one ball and gently press it between your palms and make a round shaped thick patty. Take 4 tablespoons breadcrumbs in a plate. Coat prepared patty with breadcrumbs on all sides by rolling it in breadcrumbs filled plate.

Heat a tawa drizzle 2 tbsps of oil and when the oil turns hot place the patties on the hot oil(basically shallow fry) Cook them till they turn golden brown

Flip patties and cook the other side as well

You can cook 2-3 patties at a time depending on the size of your tawa.

Serve hot with Ketchup or Khatta Meettha chutney!!
