Week 2, Day 2

Theme: Birthday Snacks

Day 2 under Birthday Snacks I have Aaloo ki Tikiya. This is one of my favorite snacks and most of the Sindhi houses make it whenever they have guests. I had made this for my Uttar Pradesh Thali. This Aaloo Tikiya is a perfect party snack , the kids love it, the grown ups too enjoy this with some fresh mint chutney and the sweet tamarind chutney. You could serve them as it is or even serve them as Aloo Tikki Chat or Tikki Chole or stuff them in a bun to make burgers. These are so versatile. So let’s get to the recipe for this Aaloo ki Tikiya.

4 boiled potatoes
1 green chilly, finely chopped

Few mint leaves

Normally we deep fry the tikkis, these are very crunchy. You could even shallow fry them . The quantity of chilly varies according to taste and the spice level.
