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.
