Quick Aloo Tikki / Potato Patties Recipe | Easy Snack Recipe

This is such a quick and easy way to make an aloo tikki! No boiling of potatoes or any such thing that needs pre prep.Here is how this recipe came into this blog.

Sometimes I am at loss for after school snack ideas. I look around for some easy recipes and once I spotted this one on Nag’s blog. I made it the same day I set my eyes on it.

Clearly, the kids loved it so much. I was happy that I could make something at short notice!

This month @ Recipe ReDux, the theme is as follows..

Spring Clean the Kitchen

Cook with at least 3 ingredients that are actually in your refrigerator or pantry right now. Try not to go to the store to buy anything new. Give tips on how to make a healthy dish out of whatever you have on-hand.

In accordance to this theme, I used the last of the rice flour and besan[chickpea flour] that I had in the fridge.Potato and onion  are ever present in the vegetable basket.Every ingredient that was used in this was already present in the fridge / pantry .This is also the healthier version as it is cooked in a griddle as opposed to deep frying,so I think this dish fits the bill.
