Aloo Tikki

Aloo Tikki is a beloved Indian street food featuring spiced potato patties that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The patties are made from mashed boiled potatoes mixed with spices like cumin, coriander, and chili powder, often combined with fresh cilantro, green chilies, and sometimes peas or bread crumbs for added texture. Shaped into small, round, or oval patties, they’re shallow-fried until golden-brown and crisp. Aloo Tikki is typically served hot, accompanied by a mix of tamarind and mint chutneys, yogurt, and sometimes garnished with pomegranate seeds or chaat masala for an extra burst of flavor. It can also be used as a base for "Aloo Tikki Chaat," a more elaborate dish layered with toppings like chickpeas, onions, and chutneys.
