Tips for aloo tikki burger. 1. Deep fry only 1 tikki at a time since it’s big and coated with maida mixture and bread crumbs and needs enough space to be deep-fried. 2. Remove the cheese slice from the freeze just before assembling. Keeping it at room temperature for too long makes it difficult to peel the cheese intact from its plastic covering. 3. Instead of red chilli sauce, use Schezuan sauce to make it more spicy for adults as a variation.
You can also try other burgers with Indian touch like Pav Bhaji Burger or Batata Vada Burger.

How to make aloo tikki
- Combine the plain flour and ¾ cup of water in a deep bowl and whisk well. Keep aside.
- Heat the oil in a broad non-stick pan and add the cumin seeds and sauté on a medium flame for 30 seconds.
- Add the garlic.
- Add the onions and sauté on a medium flame for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the green peas and sauté on a medium flame for 1 minute.
- Add boiled and mashed potatoes. To perk up the tikki mixture, you can add grated carrots or boiled & mashed French beans, beetroot, corn or any other vegetables of your choice.
- Now add chilli powder, turmeric powder and coriander powder.
- Furthermore, add chaat masala.
- Finally, add finely chopped coriander and salt to taste. Mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes, while mashing it occasionally.
- Transfer the mixture into a bowl or a plate and divide into 6 equal portions. Add 1-2 teaspoon cornflour if the mixture doesn't bind. Shape each portion into a circle of 75 mm. (3”) diameter and 1 cm thickness tikki.
- Dip each tikki in the maida- water mixture.
- Roll in the bread crumbs till it is evenly coated from all the sides.
- Heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan and deep-fry each tikki till it turns golden brown in colour from both the sides. Alternatively, though this will not give you a crunchy texture if you want, you can shallow fry/ pan fry the tikkis instead of deep-frying. In this case, do not coat them in flour-breadcrumbs. Just add little corn flour or rice flour in tikki mixture.
- Drain the aloo tikkis on an absorbent paper and keep aside.

- In a bowl take mayonnaise, add tomato ketchup to it.
- Then add red chilli sauce and mix well. Keep aside.

Hi Tarla Mam, Had made this recipe today & it turned out yummy. I had to make a change i.e. instead of maida had to use corn flour paste for binding as with maida the tikki was coming out while frying.
This burger is loved by me a lot so when I came across this recipe i badly wanted to try it but also at the same time was very nervous how will it taste...But it tasted v good and so similar to Mc Donalds.
