Be it a simple, chips, french fries or a bit more complicated recipes like potato nuggets or even potato bites. At the same time, there are quite a few desi snacks made with aloo. Aloo tikki should be the most popular one made out of it. The best part of aloo ki tikki is the versatility of it. We like to have it with a topping of ragda curry as a ragda patties recipe. But it can be a good foundation for many other recipes. Particularly when stuffed between bread or burger, it just elevates it to the next level. We make these burger sized patties well ahead in advance and freeze it so that we can use it whenever we need it. Even you can do the same thing.
