Posted on May 26, 2025

If you’ve ever strolled through Indian streets on a winter evening, you’ve likely been tempted by the smell of sizzling Aloo Tikki coming from a chaat stall. Crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful inside — this golden beauty is more than just a snack; it's a mood!

Today, we’re recreating that magical street-food experience right in your kitchen. The best part? You need just a few humble ingredients, and it’s super beginner-friendly!

🥔 Ingredients:

• 4 medium-sized boiled potatoes
• 1 tbsp cornflour or breadcrumbs (for crispiness)
• 1 green chilli (finely chopped)
• 1 tsp grated ginger
• 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
• 1/2 tsp garam masala
• 1/2 tsp dry mango powder (amchur)
• Salt to taste
• Chopped coriander leaves
• Oil for shallow frying

👩‍🍳 Method:

1. Mash the boiled potatoes in a mixing bowl until smooth and lump-free.
2. Add cornflour (or breadcrumbs), green chilli, ginger, and all the spices.
3. Mix everything together to form a soft dough. Adjust salt and spices to taste.
4. Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into flat, round tikkis.
5. Heat oil in a pan. Once hot, place the tikkis and shallow fry on medium heat until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
6. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.

🍽️ How to Serve (Adda-Style!):

Top your Aloo Tikki with green chutney, tamarind chutney, chopped onions, curd, and a sprinkle of sev to make a quick chaat!
