Aloo Tikki/Crispy Potato Patties
Aloo tikkis are often sold at street side food carts as well as served at home during festivities like Diwali. Growing up in India, we have fond memories of eating these potato patties from food carts selling lip smacking Diwali goodies . Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and bursting with flavor – the smell, the sight and the taste of these tikkis always transports us back to our childhood Diwali celebrations.
