Green Chutney:

• 2-3 cloves garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
• Salt to taste

Instructions

 

Prepare the Potatoes:

• Boil the potatoes until tender. Cool and peel them.
• To avoid extra moisture, boil potatoes on a stand in a pressure cooker with a little water in the bottom, or alternatively, use a steamer.

Prepare the Bread:

• Gently moisten the bread slices with a little water.
• Squeeze out excess water and crumble the bread into a bowl.
• In a large bowl, grate or mash the boiled potatoes. Add the crumbled bread.

Mix Ingredients:

• Mix in cornflour, coriander, green chilies, cumin powder, red chili flakes, salt, coriander powder, amchur, and garam masala.
• Combine well until the mixture is smooth and easy to shape. If the mixture feels loose, add a bit more cornflour.
• Shape the Tikkis:
• Lightly grease your hands with oil or ghee. Take a portion of the mixture and shape it into smooth, round patties (tikkis).
• Roll each patty in bread crumbs until well-coated.
• Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
• Once hot, fry the tikkis in batches until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
• Alternatively, air fry the tikkis at 180°C (350°F) for about 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Prepare the Chutneys:

• For sweet chutney, combine tamarind pulp, jaggery, roasted cumin powder, red chili powder, and salt in a saucepan. Cook until thickened, then cool.
• For green chutney, blend coriander, mint, green chilies, garlic, cumin seeds, salt, and lemon juice until smooth.

Serve:

• For a standalone snack, serve the crispy tikkis with sweet and green chutneys on the side.
• For chaat, place the tikkis on a plate, top with fresh curd, sweet chutney, green chutney, roasted cumin powder, red chili powder, and garnish with fresh coriander. Optionally, add chopped onions and tomatoes.

Notes

Tips:
Ensure the tikkis are well-coated with bread crumbs to achieve extra crispiness.
For a healthier option, consider air frying instead of deep frying.
Customize the chutney flavors according to your preference for a unique twist.
Enjoy your crispy and flavorful Aloo Tikki!
