खमंग आलू टिक्की / Spicy Chatpati Aloo Tikki

Yesterday I felt like having 'chaat' like anything....imagined all kinds of chaats we get in India.... mouth watering......and so tried Aloo Tikki...

Whatever we do, of course the chaat wala's taste wont come..don't know why.. it becomes 90% like that but something you will feel missing in chaat. isn't it?

Anyways...but this recipe will surely help you to have some spicy hot..Aloo Tikki...To make a chaat with Aloo tikki make sure you have any kind of small 'sev' , tamarind-jaggery sauce, curds (optional). Otherwise you can also have just Tikkis with pudina chutney/ any favourite sauce.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!
