Aloo Tikki Dahi Chaat

Ingredients:

For the tikkis:

  • 2-3 Nos - Potatoes, boiled and mashed
  • 1 - Big Onion, finely chopped
  • 3 Nos - Green chillies, chopped
  • 1/3 cup - Coriander leaves, chopped
  • 1 tsp - Chilly powder
  • 1/2 tsp - Coriander powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Butter or vegetable oil to shallow fry (according to your choice)

For the chat:

  • 1/2 cup - Dry peas soaked for minimum 1 hour
  • 1/2 tsp - Turmeric Powder
  • 3/4 cup - Curd, prefer chilled
  • 1/3 cup - Onion chopped
  • 1 tbsp - Corainder leaves, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp - Red chilly powder
  • 1/2 tsp - Dry roasted Zeera powder
  • Black salt / Salt to taste
  • a Handful of Sev

Method:

  • Mix all the ingredients for the tikki and keep aside.
  • Heat butter or oil( I prefer butter coz it gives a special flavor) in a pan just enough for shallow fry. Make flat patties/tikkis and shallow fry it in a pan till golden brown.
  • Arrange it on a serving plate
  • Mix salt in the cooked peas and mash it slightly and top it on to the tikkis.
  • Beat the curd well with salt. Add a pinch of sugar if it is too sour. Pour it on to the plate with tikkis.
  • Sprinkle black salt, chilly powder, and zeera powder on top of it.
  • Spread the chopped onions and coriander leaves too.
  • Sprinkle lots of fine sev on top and serve.
