Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into 2 cm. pieces. Place the diced potatoes into a pot of cold water, bring to a boil over high heat, and then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes until fork tender.
- Drain the potatoes in a colander or wire mesh strainer, and run cold running water on them for 1-2 minutes to cool them. Allow the potatoes to fully drip dry in the colander before moving to the next step.
- Add cornstarch, ajwain seeds, chaat masala, amchur, Kashmiri red chili powder, minced cilantro, minced green chilies, asafetida, and salt to the potatoes.
- Mash thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Divide the potato mixture into 3-tablespoon portions. With clean, slightly moistened hands, press into 1 cm. thick smooth round patties.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan or skillet over medium heat. After 2 minutes, when the oil is hot, pan fry the patties in batches for 4 minutes on each side until all patties have been fried. If necessary, add a little more oil to the pan between batches. Let all fried patties drip dry and cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
- In a small bowl, make the dahi by combining unsweetened yogurt, chaat masala, ground cumin, lemon juice, jaggery or your choice of sugar, salt, and water. Mix with a small whisk or tines of a fork until smooth.
- To serve, place the potato patties onto a platter (or if serving as individual servings, 2 pieces on each plate). Drizzle with cilantro chutney, tamarind chutney and the yogurt dahi. Garnish with minced red onion (if using), a sprinkle of chaat masala, fine sev, fresh cilantro leaves, and sliced green chilies.

Notes
- 🥔 Fluffy Tikkis, Guaranteed
- 🥔
- Use russets or Yukon Gold potatoes for their high starch content, ensuring your aloo tikkis are fluffy and not gummy.
- 🌬️ Cool for Consistency
- 🌬️
- Cool cooked potatoes under cold running water in a colander, then let them drip dry. This prevents the cornstarch from cooking and becoming pasty.
- 🥘 Splatter-Free Frying
- 🥘
- Use a pan with high sides, like a Dutch oven or braising pan, to reduce oil splatters and make cleanup easier.
- 🌟 Air Fryer Magic
- 🌟
- For a healthier option, air fry the tikkis. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray, place the patties in a single layer, and air fry for six to eight minutes until golden.
- 🌶️ Chutneys Are Key
- 🌶️
- Don’t skimp on the chutneys and garnishes; they add essential flavors and textures. Generous use of tamarind and green chutneys is crucial for authentic aloo tikki chaat.
