Making aloo tikki burger
  1. Slice the burger buns horizontally into two equal halves. Pan fry in a bit of oil or butter till lightly crisp. Don't toast them.
  2. Apply the green chutney or both the green chutney and sweet tamarind chutney on the bun halves. You can even spread some butter first before applying the chutney.
  3. Place the aloo tikki on one halve of the bun.
  4. Top with the sliced vegetables and lettuce. Sprinkle some chaat masala on the veggies.
  5. Cover with the other halve of the bun. Insert a toothpick on the burger.
  6. Make all the burgers this way.
  7. Serve Aloo Tikki Burger immediately accompanied with french fries, coriander chutney or tomato ketchup.

Notes

  • Pan fry the potato patties on a medium-low to medium heat, so that they are evenly golden and crisp and well-cooked. If the patties remain undercooked, the raw taste of rice flour or corn starch will be felt. 
  • You can pan-fry the patties in ghee if you prefer. 
  • Adjust the seasonings according to your taste preferences. You can also add herbs like coriander leaves or mint leaves to the patties. 
  • Instead of coriander chutney, you could also spread eggless mayonnaise (plain or flavored) on the buns.
