Aloo Tikki or Aloo Kababs are the easiest and most delicious side dishes or evening snacks.WORD Aloo Tikki comes from our neighboring country India. In Pakistan, people call it Aloo Kabab or Potato Cutlets. Both countries love to eat of all age groups people. Especially kids crazy about potatoes.

Aloo Kabab also has another name, Patty. Tikki is called in Hindi and called Patty in English some people call it Cutlets. I have also shared different types of aloo kabab recipes on my blog you can check them out by clicking the links below.

In India, Aloo Tikki is made with stuffing like pea masala or Paneer masala, etc., but here, I made some changes to make it in my style. I added some spiced meat by shredding it to enhance the taste since in Pakistan, people love meaty recipes instead of veggies only.  

Hopefully, all will love it and if you are vegetarian/vegan or have some health issues then can be skipped and add some spiced paneer, and peas by adding the same spices that I added to the meat.

For the best result follow my detailed step-by-step photo, video, and instructions tips and video below.

About Aloo Tikki:

Aloo Tikki or aloo kabab is the most popular snack in the subcontinent. Made with boiled and mashed potatoes, spiced, and herbs these Pakistani-style potato patties are shallow-fried or pan-fried to perfection until crisp

Recipe Note:

  1. As I said above I added some spiced beef meat that you can add by choice of chicken, mutton, or lamb.
  2. I made the Tikki by mixing aloo meat mixture spices and herbs. These are crazy delicious and addictive. To make the plain aloo Tikki simply skip making the stuffing or mixing. You can make plain Tikki thin or thick to your liking.
  3. Boiling potatoes correctly is the crucial step to making crisp and firm potato patties. Boil them just until fork tender, overcooked potatoes often turn mushy and become paste-like due to the excess moisture.     
  4. Mushy potatoes will need lots of flour or bread crumbs to reduce the moisture.
  5. Aloo tikki is mostly shallow fried However they can also be pan-fried, air-fried, or grilled in an oven if shallow frying oil in the pan should come to at least half the height of the Aloo Tikki.
  6. Make sure the oil is hot enough, if not the aloo tikkis will stick to the pan and mess up.to check the oil temperature drop a small piece of the prepared mixture if it comes up steadily then it is the right temperature
  7. If you are making plain Aloo Tikki and it mistakenly turns mushy or sticky don't worry. To fix it, add some crumbs or bread slices without them soaking in water.

How to Boil Potatoes:

One way is to boil the whole potatoes in a pot without peeling the skin. The other way is to cube them and steam them over a steamer or a pot a perfectly boiled potato should be fork-tender but not mushy.

What Kind of Potatoes are Used:

Try to use Potatoes that are not very sticky. Starchy potatoes are the best bet. Preferably make the patties with red potatoes since red potatoes taste aren’t sweet as other types of potatoes taste become sweet in summer, especially in the monsoon season. 

Can We Stuff Shredded Meat/Mince Instead of Mix?

Yes, you can stuff mince meat by your choice if you prefer stuffing in aloo Tikki rather than mixing. Whatever ease for you, But before stuffing do one thing: add crumbs or leftover bread slices with aloo dough for binding since we didn’t add any binding agent in potato dough as we are mixing meat with potato then no need for binding.

Stuffing takes time a bit longer than mixing. If you have time and you like you can do it. Even you can give them a shape of your choice.

Can we Add Mince Rather Than Meat?

Yes, you can add mince if you don’t want to add meat. You cook the mince with the same ingredients that I have shown in the video or told you in writing.

What Type of Binding Agent is Required in Tikki?

Usually when we make aloo kabab/aloo Tikki then is to add crumbs or bread slices or sometimes cornstarch to give it to accurate shape but when we talk about adding mince or meat in potatoes then no need to add any binding agent since .meat/mince itself works as a binding agent when is mixed with mashed potatoes but one thing keep in mind as I told above potatoes are starchy so that your Tikki make in good shape and taste.

Can We Stuff or Mix Veggies or Something Else Instead Of Meat/Mince?

Yes, Of course, you can stuff or mix anything by your choice Like Peas Masala, steamed spiced corn, grated cottage cheese or paneer, and cooked spilled chickpeas/chana dal in place of green peas. Make sure that the corn and chickpeas are well cooked and separate without being pasty or mushy.  

Can We Freez Aloo Tikki?

Yes, aloo tikki can be frozen by keeping it in an air-tight jar for a week not much than that because potatoes become quickly moisturized and soggy when potato-based recipes are fr0zen
