⭐ Ingredients (Serves 3-4)

  • 1 tsp ginger paste

  • ½ tsp cumin powder

  • ½ tsp garam masala

  • Fresh coriander leaves (chopped)

  • Salt to taste

  • Oil for shallow frying



🥘 Method – Step by Step

Boil the potatoes with skin until tender. Allow them to cool completely, then peel and mash them smoothly.

2. Mix the spices
In the mashed potatoes, add rice flour/breadcrumbs, green chili paste, ginger paste, cumin powder, garam masala, chopped coriander, and salt. Mix well until everything is combined.

3. Shape the patties
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into round, flat patties.

4. Fry the tikkis
Heat a pan, drizzle oil, and place the patties. Shallow fry them on medium flame until golden brown and crispy on both sides.

Enjoy your crispy aloo tikkis with green chutney, tamarind chutney, and chopped onions. You can also serve with spicy chole for a filling meal.

  • Always fry on medium heat to get a crispy outer layer without burning.

  • Add rice flour or breadcrumbs for that extra crunch.
