Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Aloo Tikki: In a bowl, mash boiled potatoes and green peas. Add grated carrot, chopped onion, coriander leaves, cumin powder, red chilli powder, garam masala, chaat masala, bread crumbs, and salt. Mix until well combined.

   5 minutes

   Ensure potatoes are completely cool before mashing for better binding.

2. 2

   Shape the mixture into 2 round, thick patties. Coat lightly with extra bread crumbs for crispiness.

   2 minutes

   Grease your palms to prevent sticking.

3. 3

   Heat olive oil on a non-stick tawa or skillet. Shallow fry the patties on medium heat until golden brown on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).

   8 minutes

   Don’t overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if needed.

4. 4

   Prepare the burger sauce: Mix low-fat yogurt with mint chutney and a pinch of salt. Adjust consistency with a little water if needed.

   2 minutes

   Use hung curd for a thicker sauce.
