Crispy Aloo Tikki Recipe / Aloo Patties Recipe with step by step pics and a short Youtube video. If you like my video, please share it and don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE to my channel. Literally, in Hindi and Marathi, Aloo means potato and Tikki means a cutlet or croquette. This Tikki is prepared simply with boiled potatoes along with some spice powders, shaped like small cutlets and then fried till golden colour. It is usually served with Ragda Curry along with tamarind based chutney or sometimes with Chaat Chutney or Mint Chutney or plain curd/yoghurt too. In some regions, even other stuffings like green peas, paneer and chana dal is used to prepare these patties. To cut off the calories, I have shallow fried the Tikki, alternatively, it can be air fried or Tawa fried or deep-fried too as per wish. This Tikki can be frozen for 2 months, fried whenever needed (but thaw it before use) and it is a perfect teatime snack too. If interested, check my 90+ Holi Festival Recipe collection here…

Tips for Aloo Patties Recipe
1. Drain the water immediately from the potatoes after it is cooked, there should not be much moisture, otherwise, the tikki does not hold the shape.
2. I have kept the recipe simple by using potatoes alone, you can add peas, paneer and chana dal in the stuffing.
3. Adjust chilli powder and green chilli as per spice level required for this Crispy Aloo Tikki Recipe.
4. Always cool the potatoes and then add the cornflour, else it turns sticky.
5. Cornflour can be replaced with rice flour, poha, oats, crushed cornflakes too. If preparing for fast, use arrowroot powder, sago powder or buckwheat flour.
6. Even bread crumbs can be used for binding the tikki. But use 3 to 4 days old or dry bread crumbs.
7. If preparing during fast use rock salt instead of regular salt and skip ginger- garlic paste from the ingredients.
8. The tikki can be shaped thick or thin and small or big as per wish.
9. I shallow fried the tikki to cut off the calories. You can deep fry or air fry or tawa fry too.
10. For Baking: pre-heat the oven for 10 minutes, grease the tray with oil and arrange the tikkis. Bake it for 10–12 mins at 180c, till golden colour, then flip it to the other side and bake for another 10 mins.
