How to make aloo tikki chole step by step

how to make aloo chole tikki

 

Aloo tikki chole is a delicious and appetizing snack which hails from Northern India. Aloo tikki is a potato cutlet or croquette made with boiled potatoes and spices. It is served with chickpea curry. To add more flavours aloo tikki chole is topped with yoghurt and chutneys. There are mainly two kinds of chutney served with it which are green chutney and sweet tamarind ginger chutney. However, if both are not available you can use tomato ketchup and green chilli sauce. But if you want it to make like Indian  street style, don’t skip these chutneys.

 

Aloo tikki chole chaat is irresistable. It is full of flavours sweet, tangy, hot and spicy. In Uttar Pradesh, India there are many kinds of chaats sold on roadside stalls. In pic below you can view how these chaat are prepared in street stalls and sold.

The most famous chaats are papri chaat , aloo chaat, samosa chaat, chana chaat , aloo tikki chaat and of course aloo chole tikki chaat. Sometimes these aloo tikki chole are stuffed with peas and lentils. It varies region wise but aloo tikki are always served hot and crispy. These aloo tikki are also used to make sandwiches and burgers in many places. It can also be eaten with naan and paratha.

Let’s talk about this recipe. This aloo tikki chole is made in very low fat. Can you believe ??? yes it’s true, this recipe uses very less oil. To make it healthy for my family I have made chickpea curry in 1 tablespoon of oil and also shallow fried the aloo tikki using spray oil instead of deep frying or shallow frying in much amount of oil. In my family my mother can’t take much on oil and fat so I always try to cut down fat amount. By the way it is just your personal choice. I can not deny that using more oil and ghee makes food tasty but lot of fat and health doesn’t go hand in hand.

Second thing I want to mention is to bind the potato in tikkis I have used soaked bread instead of cornflour and then to give crispiness I have used corn starch as I was running out of breadcrumbs. To make it more healthy you may use bread crumbs to coat the tikki. Ok now I am closing my chatterbox and let’s jump to the recipe.

    Such awesome snack this is… And you have created such drama in your photos which looks really nice. I like the way you have prepared the Tikkis just by using a spray. I could have never got that right.

      Thanks a lot Nupur, Spray oil makes little control over oil intake and also easy to use;-)

    In step #6 of the Instructions you say add spices and it say “turmeric powder”, however in the list of Ingredients you do not list turmeric powder. So, how much should be used?
    Also, you list “Cumin Seeds” in the Ingredients list, but you never mention in the Instructions where that is used. Please advise.
