I serve Aloo ki tikki in a number of ways and across occasions. As a party starter, kids get-together, evening chai or a complete meal in itself. When serving as a starter, I make tiny mini ones. To be honest I am partial to making tiny versions of snacks. I do it with kachoris as well as samosas.
Sometimes they make for a complete meal and that’s when I make them king size and serve them with chole, mint coriander chutney and  sweet tamarind chutney.The faithful tikki has never let me down.

I make them with a dal and peas stuffing when serving for a meal. This is the simple un-stuffed quick make tikki!

Deep fry in medium hot oil, or shallow fry in a heavy bottomed pan alternating the heat between high and medium. Keep an eye at all times. We are looking for a nice brown crust.
