Air Fryer Aloo Tikki Recipe

Ingredients:

4 medium-sized boiled potatoes

1/4 cup finely chopped onions

1/4 cup finely chopped coriander leaves

2 tablespoons green peas (optional)

1 green chili, finely chopped

1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste

1 teaspoon cumin powder

1 teaspoon coriander powder

1/2 teaspoon garam masala

1/2 teaspoon red chili powder

Salt, to taste

1 tablespoon cornflour (optional, for binding)

1 tablespoon oil (for brushing or spraying)

1/2 teaspoon chaat masala (for sprinkling on top)

Steps:

Prepare the filling:

Peel and mash the boiled potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Make sure there are no lumps.Add finely chopped onions, coriander leaves, green peas, green chili, and ginger-garlic paste to the mashed potatoes.

Add spices:

Add cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt to the mixture. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

Shape the tikki:

Divide the mixture into small portions and shape them into round or oval patties. You can make 8-10 tikkis depending on the size.If the mixture feels too soft or sticky, add a little cornflour to bind it.

Preheat the air fryer:

Preheat your air fryer at 180Β°C (350Β°F) for about 3-4 minutes.

Cook the tikki:

Lightly brush the tikkis with oil to get a crisp texture.Place the tikkis in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Ensure they are not overlapping.Cook at 180Β°C (350Β°F) for 12-15 minutes or until the tikkis are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Flip halfway through for even cooking.

Serve:

Remove the tikkis from the air fryer and sprinkle with chaat masala for extra flavor.

Serve hot with mint chutney, tamarind chutney, or yogurt.

Preparation Tips:

Ensure the potatoes are well-drained after boiling to avoid excess moisture in the mixture.

Use a non-stick spray or lightly brush the tikkis with oil to achieve a crispy texture.

You can make the tikkis ahead of time and refrigerate them for a few hours.

Just air fry them when ready to serve.

For extra flavor, you can stuff the tikkis with a filling like cheese or spiced mashed peas.
