Aloo Tikki is one of the most popular street foods in North India. It is often eaten in the form of a chaat with curd, tamarind chutney & mint chutney topped with onions, tomatoes, raw mangoes, pomegranate pearls etc. But, at times, especially during the monsoons, this hot and crispy aloo tikki can be combined with tomato ketchup and a cup of hot tea which makes a delightful evening snack.In Maharashtra, the aloo tikki is known as “Patty” and combined with white peas gravy known as “ragda” which makes another popular street food called as “Ragda patties.” There is also a stuffed version of aloo tikkis whose recipes I will be sharing soon. Also, these tikkis can also make a the Aloo tikki burger which we often get at McDonald’s outlets.

Ingredients

To make tikkis

3-4 medium sized potatoes (boiled)
3-4 tablespoons corn flour
1 cup bread crumbs
2 green chillies (finely chopped)
Salt to taste
red chilli powder (as per taste)
1 tablespoon chaat masala
1/2 tablespoon dry mango powder (amchur)
1 tablespoon garam masala
1 tablespoon coriander powder (dhania powder)
1/2 tablespoon oil (to apply while baking)
Bread crumbs to coat the tikkis

To make slurry:

1 tablespoon corn flour
1 tablespoon maida
water as required to make liquid batter
a pinch of salt
a pinch of black pepper powder

Notes:

Coating with bread crumbs make the the tikkis crispy.
Fresh coriander leaves also give a very good flavor to tikkis.
I have used Air-Fryer to bake these tikkis. But if you want to fry them, heat 4-5 tablespoons of oil in a pan and shallow fry the tikkis until turn golden brown and crispy. The rest of the procedure will remain the same.
I will be sharing the recipe of Fried tikkis as well.
I have used home made bread crumbs to coat the tikkis. To do that, take 2 bread slices, break them into pieces and add into a blender jar. Grind the slices to make bread crumbs.
In place of bread crumbs, you can use ground corn flakes as well.
Corn flour is added to potatotes so that the we can bind the potatoes well to give a tikki shape.

8. Now, to make tikkis, apply some oil on your palms and take a small portion of the potato mixture. Make small balls and gently press to give a tikki shape. Press the edges to seal the cracks. Keep the tikkis at a parchment/butter paper.

9. Now, dip the tikkis in the corn flour batter and coat them gently using a fork.

10. Gently take out the tikki from the batter and coat with bread crumbs well from all the sides.

11. Repeat the process for all the tikkis and keep them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
