"Ohhhhh hunny can you puhleeaaas make me some Aloo Tikki?" Something I hear too often in our home.
Aloo tikki are simple delicious spiced potato patties.
After several attempts at these delicious tikkis, I have learned one important tip... do not over cook the potato! Just cook until they are fork tender. A friend suggested leaving the skins on (peel after cooking), that works well also.
You can eat the Aloo Tikkis as a snack, a burger, or placed on top of an Indian inspired rice/quinoa bowl.
I love serving our Aloo Tikkis topped with yogurt, Cilantro-Mint Chutney, chopped onion, cilantro and tomato with a squeeze of lime. AND if in season, BE SURE to add some pomegranate seeds!! The sweet/sourness of the pomegranate seeds are "the icing on the cake!"

Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes, boiled with skins on
- 1/2 inch piece ginger, smashed in mortar
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed in mortar
- 3/4 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
- black pepper
- 1/2 tsp red chili powder
- 1green chili, chopped fine
- 3 tbsp cilantro leaves, chopped fine
- 5-6 tbsp breadcrumbs
- 1-2 tbsp avocado or ghee (for cooking)
Directions
Preparation Work
Boil the potatoes with the skins on. Boil just until cooked, do not overcook or you will have a soggy tikka.
Let the potatoes cool and then peel the skin off.
In a medium size mixing bowl, mash the potatoes. Mash them well until no chunks of potato remain.
Add the ginger, garlic, garam masala, lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper, red chili powder, green chili and cilantro.
Add the breadcrumbs. Mix and make a firm ball, it should not be sticky. You may add more breadcrumbs in needed. Set aside.
Making the Aloo Tikki
Divide the potato (aloo) mixture into 7-8 equal parts (or adjust size/quantity as desired).
Flatten them using your hand. Set them aside on a plate.
On a pan, over medium heat, heat approx 1-2 tbsp of oil, butter or ghee (I use my cast iron pan).
Once hot, place a tikki onto the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until it is golden and the base is crisp. Flip the tikki and cook until golden and crisp (1-2 mins).
Remove the tikki from the pan.
Dress the tikki as desired or serve on a bun as a burger.
