The ingredients looked interesting... really interesting that I set out to experiment my own version of Aloo Tikki over the weekend :) And it is not that big a deal to make your own.... here you go!
Cooking Time: 30 mins (does not include the time taken to boil the potatoes)
Note: I had some leftover Chana Masala from the previous evening, and that added to the flavor
Ingredients (for 6 tikkis)
Boiled Potatoes - 2, large
Egg - 1 (optional)
Bread crumbs - 4 tbsp or more to coat the tikkis
Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tbsp
Garam Masala - 1/2 tbsp
Corriander Powder - 1/2 tbsp
Chilli powder - 1/4 tbsp
Corriander leaves to garnish
Oil to deep fry
Salt to taste
Preparation
- Peel the skin from the boiled potatoes. Mash them in a large bowl
- Add turmeric powder, garam masala, corriander powder, chilli powder, corriander leaves and salt to the mashed potatoes. Continue to mash to make a dough
- Knead them into small cakes (as shown in the picture). Depending on the size of the potatoes, you may get about 6-8 cakes
- Break the egg and whisk it well. In parallel, take the bread crumbs in a small plate
- Dip each cake into the egg, then bread crumbs, and set aside (preferably in a foiled tray / plate)
- Heat oil in a kadai
- Fry each cake (now coated with egg and bread crumbs) on both sides till it turns golden brown
- Serve warm with ketchup. Tastes great with chana masala and freshly chopped onions on the side

i made aloo tikki thursday morning for madhu's lunch. The egg was a very good idea for binding agent. I didnt have bread crumbs, so used corn flour. Madhu got only 2 out of 10 from his own box,and had to go buy a McD burger, to satisfy his hunger. LOL!!
@ Nithya - LOL!! Glad it came out well! :)
