Crispy & delicious pan-fried potato cutlets or aloo tikki…
Turn potatoes into a delicious cutlet or tikki. On days I don’t have any meat potatoes rescue me. After all, potatoes are an excellent meat substitute. The other day, for lunch I’d made pan-fried potato cutlets or tikki. Dipped the patties in cornstarch slurry, which has made the cutlets very crispy.
This can be enjoyed as it is or turn into sandwiches, burgers; wrap in pita bread, or tortillas. You got so many options.
I’ve also added a teaspoon of chaat masala, which has imparted a nice tangy taste & you’ll get that kick while devouring the cutlets.
