Aloo tikki , how to make crispy aloo tikki

potatoes ((450 to 500 grams))

ginger paste (or ¼ tsp ginger powder)

garam masala (or any spice powder)

½ teaspoon chaat masala

red chili powder

ghee (or oil (very hot) optional)

coriander leaves ((finely chopped))

green chili (chopped)

corn flour ((cornstarch) or rice flour

bread crumbs (or poha powder

Salt ((adjust

cashews ((chopped, optional))

Oil (or as needed)

Boil potatoes just until cooked. Do not overcook them. They should be firm and not mushy or soggy. (check the tips above in intro for details).

Cooker: Add them to a cooker and pour water to partially cover them. Cook for 3 to 5 whistles depending on the size of your cooker. Instant pot: Pressure cook them for 7 to 8 minutes and let the pressure release naturally.

Cool them completely and remove the skin. Grate or mash them in a mixing bowl. Make sure there are no chunks of potatoes.

Add coriander leaves and green chilies.

Add ginger paste, garam masala, chaat masala, salt and red chili powder.

Heat 1 tbsp ghee till very hot in a kadai. Pour that over the red chili powder to remove the raw flavor.

Ensure the potatoes are cooled first then only add flour and bread crumbs. Begin to mix and make a firm and non sticky ball. If needed you can add more bread crumbs or flour to absorb moisture.

The mixture must be firm and non-sticky. If it is sticky, it means it is too moist. So add more bread crumbs or flour.

Preparation

Divide the mixture to 6 to 8 equal parts and make balls. If you prefer large tikkis, you can make fewer large balls. But thin tikkis cook well and get crispy when fried. If making for burger, then you can make them as wide as the size of a burger.

Flatten them and make the aloo tikki. Place them in a tray and set aside.

Heat 4 to 6 tbsps oil in a medium sized non-stick or cast iron pan.

Check if the oil is hot by gently sliding a small portion of the mixture to the hot oil. It has to rise without browning a lot. This is the right temperature. If it sinks it means the oil is not hot yet.

Wait until it becomes hot, then gently transfer one after the other to the oil. Do not disturb them until the base of the tikki firms up.

When you see the base of the aloo tikki has turned firm, then flip them. Fry until golden &amp; crisp on both the sides.

Remove them to a absorbent kitchen paper or a colander. For extra crisp tikkis, you can refry them in the oil again.

OR for grilling in oven Alternately brush the patties with oil &amp; place on a greased wire rack over a tray. Grill in a preheated oven for 18 to 20 mins at 390 F (200 C) or until crisp. Flip them to the other side after 10 to 12 mins. Adjust the timing based on your oven.

For Air frying: Brush the tikkis &amp; place them in the air fryer wired rack. Air fry at 360 F (180 C) for 8 to 10 mins on each side. Keep check and adjust the timing as needed. If your air fryer needs preheating, preheat it first before air frying.

Serve aloo tikki hot with mint chutney or serve them inside your burger. (to make check the tips in intro)

Aloo tikki are Indian style vegetarian potato patties that are often eaten as snack. But they can also be eaten as a patty in a burger. These are not the stuffed aloo tikki, but simple ones which can be made quickly if boiled potatoes are ready.

To make these crispy aloo tikki, boiled potatoes are mashed and spice powders like garam masala, chaat masala are added to spice up the mix.Coriander leaves are also added to add some flavor. Rice flour or corn flour are generally  used to absorb the moisture from the potatoes. But i have also used bread crumbs here which work better than the flour.

Aloo tikki can be shaped to thick or thin patties depending on your preference. I have made them thin here to make them crisp and cook thoroughly.
