आलू टिक्की बनाने की विधि (Aloo tikki recipe)

Aloo Tikki (Potato Cutlets)

Ingredients:

• For the Tikki:
  • 4-5 medium-sized potatoes, boiled and peeled
  • 1 green chili, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ginger paste
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder (jeera powder)
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder (dhaniya powder)
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder (haldi powder)
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon chaat masala
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon rice flour or corn flour
  • Oil for frying

For Serving:

• Green chutney
• Tamarind chutney
• Yogurt
• Chaat masala
• Sev (fried gram flour noodles)

Instructions:

1. Mash the Potatoes: Mash the boiled potatoes thoroughly in a large bowl.
2. Add Spices: Add the green chili, ginger paste, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, chaat masala, and salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix well.
3. Bind the Mixture: Add the rice flour or corn flour to the mixture and knead it gently until it forms a soft dough.
4. Shape the Tikkis: Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into round or oval patties.
5. Fry the Tikkis: Heat oil in a deep skillet or kadai over medium heat. Carefully place the tikkis in the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown on both sides.
6. Serve: Drain the fried tikkis on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot with green chutney, tamarind chutney, yogurt, chaat masala, and sev.

Tips:

• For a crispier tikki, you can add a little bit of bread crumbs to the mixture.
• You can also bake the tikkis in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
• To make a healthier version, you can air fry the tikkis instead of deep frying them.

Enjoy your homemade Aloo Tikki!
