Aloo Tikkis

I think all of the chaat corner dishes are going to be street foods so was thinking of changing the name into streetfood corner ! Now here’s another spicy, chatpatta comforting street food “aloo tikki”.

Aloo tikki is nothing but potato cutlets which are pan fried patties ,with a crispy exterior and soft ,spicy interior . Chaatwala bhaiya’s usually serve aloo tikki with green spicy chutney, tangy tamarind (emli khajoor ) chutney sprinkled with fine sev.

Aloo Tikki can be served in a number of ways, the typical way is as said above another way is to cut the tikki’s into halves drizzle some green chutney than some emli khajoor chutney and than pour some beaten curd then sprinkle some fine save,finely chopped onion & coriander .Now that's what I would say my version of a hard to resist , mouthwatering & lip smacking aloo tikki. In some places I have even tasted aloo tikki served with channa masala that too is very fulfilling! I did try it out but liked the other one better!!

I can still remember the chaatwala bhaiya’s portable stall his style of making aloo tikki on a hot tava, the sizzling grizzling sound of the tikkis left to crisp’n up the aroma…..mmmmm yummy ! So now’s the time to make some aloo tikki’s here’s my recipe
