Aloo Tikkis
Tikkis, an ubiquitous street side food in North India and a hot favorite... are so simple and easy to make but taste real good. Also, most of the ingredients are what we have at home so these can be made at a moment's notice and are perfect for a quick tea-time snack.

Hi Laavan, I tried out this recipe yesterday to take to my cousin's place, and everyone absolutely loved it!! I didn't have peas alone, so I used peas-carrots-beans-corn mix (yeah, can you believe I used corn?!). But it came out really well. Thanks for the recipe! :))
