    Substitutions

    Bread crumbs work well as a binding agent in making the patties, in order to remove moisture from the potatoes and makes crispy patties.

    Alternatively, you use rice flour, roasted gram flour or poha or flattened rice powder.

    Chaat masala - you replace it with garam masala if you can't find it.

    Variations

    To make aloo chaat: Place the fired Tikki in a serving bowl and top it with sweet chutney, green chutney and curd.

    For Aloo Tikki burger: Toast the buns with butter and spread a little bit of yoghurt mint chutney, followed by some lettuce, cucumber and place the Tikki in between the buns and enjoy!

    For tortilla wrap: slightly mash the patties and place it on top of lettuce, sliced cucumber, with some dipping sauce like sweet chilli sauce or mayonnaise and wrap it tightly.

    Storage

    You can freeze these patties. After shaping the Indian aloo patties, place them on a tray and freeze them until they are frozen. Take them out and place them in a ziplock bag or airtight container. They stay good for 2-3 months

    Before frying the patties thaw them thoroughly.

    These potato patties stay good for 2- 3days in the fridge when stored in an airtight box.

    Tips and tricks

    Boil potatoes until they are just soft and don't overcook them.

    After boiling the potatoes drain the water completely and allow it to stand for a few minutes.

    Allow them to cool completely and then mash or grate the potatoes. Don't add the binding agent when the mixture is hot otherwise, it will become sticky.

    Add the patties to the pan when oil is hot enough otherwise they absorb oil and will not be crispy. If this happens add 1or 2 tablespoon extra bread crumbs to the mixture and combine well.

    Notes:

    • Skip green chillies if you are making for kids or toddlers.
    • Adjust the spices according to your taste.
