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.

ALOO TIKKI

Ingredients:
Potatoes - 2, boiled, peeled and mashed
Green Peas - 1/2 cup, cooked and mashed coarsely
Green chillies - 1 tbsp, chopped
Coriander leaves - 2 tbsp, chopped
Ginger - 2 tsp, chopped
Chilli powder - 1/2 to 1 tsp
Chaat masala - 1/2 tsp
Garam masala - 1/2 tsp
Cornflour - 2 tbsp
Salt - to taste
Oil - to shallow fry


Method:

1) Mix all the ingredients above (except oil). Divide this into several portions. and shape each portion into a tikki.

2) Shallow fry these (or deep fry, if you so prefer) until golden brown on either side. Serve with ketchup.

  9. Mouth-watering aloo tikis..Sanjeev Kapoor has once used ground roasted chana dal instead of corn flour. It turned out good also. Just wanted to let you know as well. Thanks.

  11. Sirisha, your version sounds real good.

    Thank you Pooja.

    Jaden, thanks.. I hope you try it when you get all the masalas.

    Asha, that's a funny coincidence because I was tempted to make tikkis after seeing your post (of course yours is stuffed and so on but I just went with a simple version) :)

    Sreelu, hop over anytime to have a go at these.

    Rajitha - I know... every once in a while I crave all things Chaat.

    Tee, it would be perfect. Wish I could send over some.

    Thank you TBC. Right you are abt cornflour being the binding agent.

    Pragyan, thanks for the tip about the powdered dalia - will keep that in mind when I run out of cornflour.

    Richa - thank you :)

  24. 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! :))
