Steps

1

How To Make Crispy Aloo Tikki
Do not add salt to the potato mix. When you add salt, the potatoes release moisture and that not only makes it difficult to handle the mixture but also effects the crispiness.
2

Use a combination of flattened rice flakes (poha) and corn starch in the potato mix.They act as the perfect binder and make the tikki crispy.
3

Fry the tikki twice. I noticed this at my favorite chaat stall during one of my trips. You first fry the tikki at a lower temperature. The first frying softens the potatoes and forms a crust.
4

Method : 1- Boil the potatoes, peel and let them cool. You can boil them on stove-top or using your pressure cooker. If using an Instant Pot pressure cook the potatoes on high pressure (placed on trivet with 1 cup water in the pot) for 10 minutes with natural pressure release.
If cooking on stove top pressure cooker, cook for 8-9 whistles on high heat. You can simply also cook them in a pot full of water. Boil until tender.
5

Once the potatoes are cooled, mash them using a potato masher.
6

After 5 minutes are up, add chopped green chilli, ginger, garlic, and all dry masalas, corn starch. Add cahsew and raisins. Lemon juice and hing.
7

Mix everything until well combined
8

Divide the potato mixture into equal parts. I made big tikkis and roll with bread crumbs.
9

Now heat a fry pan and shallow fry to tikki. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until the tikki becomes nice golden brown and crisp from the outside.
10

Fry all the tikkis for the second time in the same way.

Enjoy also tikkis with tomato ketchup. And green chutney.
