Aloo Tikki Chaat at Home | Easy Street-Style Recipe
Description
In simple terms, these are potato patties that are delicious with several different sauces, yogurt, onions, crispy sev and lots of love on the side.
It’s very simple and not elaborate. It is not a complex process. Still, I find it impossible to stop discussing it.
Variations on the same can be found in every region. The flavor in Delhi’s cuisine is chatpata and spicy. Mumbai has a dish called ragda in its menu. Even so, what stays the same is the crisp aloo, the yummy chutneys and the famous chaat dish.
It will be something you will really enjoy.

Let’s Make It (Method, but more fun)
-
Step 1 : Tikki Time
- Take those boiled potatoes. Mash it without lumps, please.
- Mix in cornflour, spices, salt. Squish it all together.
- Now shape them into patties. Round, flat, not too thick. You get the idea.
- Heat oil. Not too much. We’re shallow frying, not drowning them.
- Fry till golden. Flip. Fry the other side. Crispy? Good. Done.
-
Step 2 : Assemble The Chaat
- Now the fun part. Plating.
- Place your hot, crispy tikkis on a plate.
- Drown them (nicely) with chilled curd. Drizzle green chutney. A generous splash of tamarind chutney.
- Throw on onions, tomatoes, coriander. Sprinkle chaat masala. Black salt too. Don’t be shy.
- Finally, top it all with crunchy sev. Oh, and pomegranate seeds if you’re feeling extra.
-
Step 3 : Serve and Enjoy
Serve it fast. Crispy tikkis wait for no one.

Note
👇Notes & Tips
- Use old potatoes. The starchy kind. They make better tikkis.
- Don’t skip chaat masala. It’s the soul of the dish.
- Fry on medium heat. Low heat makes them soggy. High heat burns them. Medium is your friend.
- Assemble chaat just before serving. Nobody likes soggy sev.
🌀Fun Variations to Try
- Stuffed Tikki Chaat: Fill tikkis with spicy chana dal. Boom, extra flavor.
- Sweet Potato Tikki Chaat: Healthier, slightly sweet twist.
- Ragda Tikki: Add a layer of white peas curry. Mumbai style.
- Paneer Tikki Chaat: Mix paneer in the tikki dough. Creamy and yum.
