Aloo Tikki Chat Recipe

Aloo Tikki Chat

Aloo Tikki Chaat is basically a North Indian specialty that has become quite popular across the country. Almost every Indian city will have a chaat center, selling these hot crispy tikkis topped with curd, ragda, and delicious chutneys.

You can have fillings in your aloo tikkis from cottage cheese to peas and even nuts. But I like it simple. You can also serve your aloo tikkis just with green chutney and garnished with onions and cilantro. Serve with this delicious.

This is super delicious and easy to make, though we all love potatoes and this potato Pattie will give you a mouthwatering taste. Though this plate has many calories, you can’t eat it on a daily basis but for sure eat it once for a while.

How to make Aloo Tikki:-

1. To shape the Aloo Tikki, take a small portion of mashed potato in between your palms. Roll it and gently flatten it using fingers. If the potato mixture seems sticky, moisten your fingers with a teaspoon of oil.

2. Make a well in the center of the potato ball, fill in a teaspoon of lentil stuffing. Close the edges. Gently flatten the Tikki once again to get the thickness of an inch or so. Similarly, shape all the patties.

3. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium flame.

4. Shallow fry the potato Tikki in over low-medium heat. While shallow frying keep on gently pressing the Tikki to evenly cook from all sides.

5. Do not flip Tikki continually. Let it turn crisp from one side, flip, and then cook from the other side. Once cooked transfer to a plate 

Final Process to make Aloo Tikki Chat:-

1. Whisk curd nicely to a smooth dropping consistency. Add a tablespoon of water or milk if required to get the desired consistency.

2. To serve Aloo Tikki Chaat, arrange Tikki in a plate, add a spoonful of whisked curd, a teaspoon of each chutney, and sprinkle spices as per your taste.

Recipe Notes:-

• Make sure to grate the potatoes and not mash them. This gives a nice texture 
• Do not add too much water while boiling the lentils. One or two cups is enough for pressure cooking. 
• If you do not have white peas, you can use only 1/2 cup of chana dal. Soak it for 2 – 3 hours only.
• Do not overstuff the potato with the lentil mixture. Otherwise, the outer will tear.
• Always fry potato Tikki over low-medium heat to get the perfect color and crisp texture. 
• If you serve aloo Tikki without curd or yogurt. And also add your favorite chat ingredients
