Aloo tikki, an Indian street food, is made by mashing leftover boiled potatoes, stuffing them with spiced ground meat, and frying them until crisp. Sealing the potato around the filling without letting it spill out takes skill, making this a challenging recipe.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the filling

5 min

Sauté the ground meat with the onion, green pepper, cumin, and ginger in a pan for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.

2

Mix the potato

5 min

Knead the mashed potato with the starch and salt into a smooth dough.

3

Shape the patties

10 min

Flatten a handful of potato dough and place 1 spoonful of meat filling in the center. Seal the edges, roll into a ball, and press lightly. Coat in bread crumbs.

4

Fry

7 min

Heat the oil in a pan and fry the patties for 7 minutes, until crisp and golden on both sides.

Reminder

If the potato mixture is too wet, the patties may fall apart while frying; add a few spoonfuls of bread crumbs if needed. Allergen: contains gluten (bread crumbs).
