Aloo Tikki Chaat Recipe +Video

What is Aloo Tikki Chaat?

Aloo Tikki Chaat is popular street food of India. The crispy deep fried potato patties filled with chana dal stuffing, served with yogurt, tamarind chutney, mint chutney and pomegranate pearls.

It is one dish that is filled with a combination of sweet, tangy, spicy, and juicy, all flavors together in one dish.

Most of the time it is made without stuffing but in this recipe, I have filled them with spicy chana dal stuffing with a twist of cashew and raisins.

Is aloo tikki chaat Vegan?

As such the potato patties/aloo Tikki are vegans but when we serve or assemble them using yogurt it isn’t vegan. If you want to serve them for vegans simply omit yogurt or serve with any plant-based yogurt instead.

Can Aloo Tikki be Frozen?

Yes, you can shape the patties and freeze them on a baking tray lined with parchment papar. Once the shape is set, store them in freezer safe zip lock bags.

Can aloo tikki be made ahead?

Yes, you may make the aloo tikki few hours before serving. When you are ready to eat simply re fry them again to make them more crispy and yummy.

Basic Ingredients for Aloo Tikki Chaat?

• First, Potato-Try to use the nonsticky variety of potatoes.
• Ginger-To add some heat and aids in digestion.
• Coriander leaves-Definitely a must as it brings fresh flavors.
• Spices-Cumin, coriander, dry mango powder, chaat masala, and garam masala along with red chilli powder.

How to make Aloo Tikki Chaat?

When you see the recipe you might think it is a very time-consuming recipe but believe me this is one of the easiest street food of Inida.

Once your potatoes are boiled and grated all you need to do is add the rest of the ingredients for patties and make a dough-like mixture out of it. The second step is to keep the chana dal stuffing ready.

And when both of these above steps are done,fill them with chana dal stuffing and shape the tikki/patties.

Now all you need to do is shallow fry the tikkis until golden and crsipy in color.

Finally, comes the best part of assembling the aloo tikki chaat. Take tikkis in a plate, add yogurt, mint chutney, tamarind chutney, and pomegranate pearls. Sprinkle some chaat masala and coriander leaves and serve it right away.

Serving and Topping Suggestions:

For toppings, you may use plenty of things. For example, you may add carrot juliennes, thinly sliced onion, shredded cabbage, thin sev, roasted peanuts, or much more.
