Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 Cup grated boiled potato
  • ¼ Cup kuttu ka atta (buckwheat flour)
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoon roasted peanuts, crushed
  • 2 tablespoon cashews (kaju), finely chopped
  • 1 green chili chopped
  • 1 teaspoon powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder (jeera powder)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper powder
  • 1 teaspoon rock salt (sendha namak)
  • 2 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander
  • 2 tablespoon curry leaves
  • 2 tablespoon ghee

Instructions

  • Boil the potatoes. Peel off and discard the potato skin. Grate the boiled potatoes. Transfer them into a mixing bowl.
  • Add flour, spices, salt, sugar, green chili, peanut, cashew, coriander, and curry leaves to the grated potatoes.
  • Mix nicely to form a smooth, non-sticky dough or mixture.
  • To shape the aloo tikki, rub a teaspoon of ghee in your palms. Take a scoop of potato mixture. Shape it into a flat, round patties of ¼th inch thickness. Similarly, shape all the tikki and arrange them neatly on a plate.
  • Brush each patty with ghee from both sides.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 180 degrees Celsius. Once preheated, arrange aloo ki tikki on the air fryer basket.
  • Air Fry for 20 minutes or till the aloo tikki is crisp and golden, turning the patties halfway through the cooking time.
  • Serve vrat special aloo tikki with green chutney.

Notes

  • We need firm boiled potatoes for making the patty. Hence, do not boil the potatoes for too long. 
  • Make sure to grate the potatoes and not mash them. This is to ensure smooth, lump-free potato dough. 
  • You can shallow fry aloo tikki on a pan. Heat ghee in a frying pan over medium flame. Shallow fry the potato tikki in small batches over low-medium heat till crisp and golden from both sides.
  • If you are not making this aloo tikki for fasting, add ingredients like finely chopped onion, Chaat Masala, red chili powder, or regular salt for the flavor.
