Basic steps to make an aloo tikki chaat

Begin with making the aloo mixture first-

Nicely rinse the potatoes to remove the dust and then place three to four of them in a pressure cooker. Boil for a while, generally, four to five whistles down for them to get evenly boiled. Once the potato has acquired a mashy consistency, open the lid of the pressure cooker and drain the extra water. As the potatoes cool down, you can peel the skin evenly, squeeze them, and mash them into an even consistency.

You can follow any basic aloo tikki chaat recipe to measure the number of ingredients, spices, and extras that will be needed.

More or less into the mashed potatoes, you can add some masala like turmeric, cumin, ginger, Kashmiri red chili powder, ginger powder, dried mango powder, and you are good to go. Add some rice crumbs or flour to give consistency and texture to the potato mash. Don't forget to add some salt to the mashed potatoes as well. Once a tight dough has been made, half your job is done.

Frying the patties-

Make small sections of the dough, shape it into a circle, and give it the form of a flattened pattie. Fry every piece in a pan on medium flame. Flip and fry both sides until the patties are ready. Soon, your patties will turn golden and crispy. Flipping once or twice is enough to make your pattie turn out good and gorgeous.

Once frying is done, you can place the patties on tissue paper to soak the extra oil it contains.

Now, let’s make the aloo chaat-

The tikkis should be still hot and fresh when you begin to assemble them in a bowl with whisked curd. If you are not a great fan of curd then you can skip adding it too. That is your call! Top the arrangement with green chutney and tamarind chutney. Some black salt and chaat masala can be sprinkled on top along with a garnishing of chopped chopped onions and fresh coriander leaves. Your simple and go-to snack for the evening is ready with that!
