Aloo Tikki Ingredients

Method

Aloo Tikki Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into quarters. Boil them in water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let them cool.

  2. 2

    Mash the Potatoes

    Once cooled, mash the boiled potatoes in a large mixing bowl until smooth.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Mixture

    Chop the onion and green chilies finely. Add the chopped onion, green chilies, ginger paste, green peas, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, salt, and chopped coriander leaves to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  4. 4

    Shape the Tikkis

    Take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into a round patty or tikki. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

  5. 5

    Coat with Breadcrumbs

    Roll each tikki in breadcrumbs to coat them evenly. This will give a crispy texture when deep-fried.

  6. 6

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat until hot, but not smoking.

  7. 7

    Fry the Tikkis

    Carefully place the coated tikkis in the hot oil. Fry them in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  8. 8

    Drain the Tikkis

    Once fried, remove the tikkis with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

  9. 9

    Serve

    Serve hot with chutney or yogurt as a dipping sauce.
