Hot, crisp, salty aloo tikkis with chutney is to Northern Indian what the chip is to Britain! It is such a common dish in India that you can even get a McAloo Tikki burger at McDonald’s… in my opinion, the best McD’s option!! There are so many variations.. to boil, bake or to steam the potatoes?.. to stuff the filling or mix it in?.. to bind with egg or not?.. to coat with breadcrumbs or semolina before frying?.. to shape in a ball or keep flat?.. this is my version. The outcome is soft and fluffy on the inside and hot and crisp on the outside. This time I had some leftover kids steamed veg.. broccoli, carrots, green beans and corn, which I wanted to use up, plus some potatoes on their last legs. You can use frozen chopped veg or add peas only. I also didn’t have much time to faff around with stuffing, so this was super quick and easy.
