Wohoo. Time for some ice-breakers: How are you guys doing? How was your weekend? How was your Diwali / Halloween? Oh, gosh. I have so many things to ask. But you guys are free to answer to only the ones you like. 🙂
My weekend was festive, tech-free and long. I took a break on Monday also. You may ask, what do I mean by tech-free?
My Tech DETOX:
During the weekend, I decided to be on a tech and partial Internet DETOX. I was away from all the electronic devices. Yeah, I didn’t open my laptop since Friday. And I must say it was so rejuvenating for me.
I checked the internet only twice a day, only to make sure that I don’t miss anything important. It was a great family time we spent without these devices around. And finally, I am back with lots of energy. So cheers to the good times. 🙂
Potato and spice — all things nice.
And now I have something nice to share with you. Ohhh, I have some spicy aloo tikki on a chili rub bun. How does that sound to you? Excited already?
Spicy aloo tikki with a spicy bun? That might sound like really spicy for non-chili lovers. But yeah, that’s a super awesome thing for chili lovers like me. 😉 Anyways, if you are planning to make this, then feel free to choose your favorite bun for burger base.
It tastes also good when served as a snack along with cajun potatoes.
MacAloo Tikki Burger is my favorite since Childhood:
I don’t know about you whether you ever had an Aloo Tikki Burger or not because I could only find them in India. This was one of my favorites during my teens. At that time, MacD’s were fairly new in my city, and that too only a couple of them were opened. And these burgers were only sold there. So this Indianized version of the burger was everyone’s new favorite thing. It was just that good. 🙂
I still love this delicious thing, but we don’t get aloo Tikki burgers where I live now. So every time when I have some cravings for this particular burger I make my own. And making this burger is super simple and super fun too.
Aloo Tikki on a burger is like really, really good. This is one of my dearest burger recipes, and not just for the reason that it’s beyond delicious, but also for the fact that they are beyond easy.
Can I pan-fry aloo Tikki Burger?
Yes, you can. If you are calorie conscious, or just want to pass over the deep or shallow frying the patties, then there is another way which pan-frying. For pan frying, simply brush aloo tikki/patties with some oil and roast them on a pan over medium heat.
Pan-fried aloo tikki is fairly delicious. Alternatively, you can also grill them on a grilling pan, or in a panini maker.
Can I bake aloo tikki?
Yes. Baking aloo tikk is a cake. Preheated oven to 200°C, and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until they have a nice golden brown color.
How to freeze aloo tikki?
For freezing aloo tikki, half cook tikkis in a pan or lightly fry them. Let them cool down completely. Arrange them on a freezer-safe pan in a single layer and freeze for 2-4 hours. Once they are frozen transfer them into a freezer safe container or in a ziplock bag.
Thaw the tikkis in the refrigerator for 4-5 hours prior to cooking. Bake/pan-fry/deep-fry tikkis and use them in your burger or simply enjoy them with some chutney or ketchup. Aloo Tikkis stay fresh in the freezer for up to 2 months.
How do you make potato patties for burgers?
You need some boiled potatoes, cooked green peas, and a little ginger-garlic paste for that flavor zing. This really helps add great flavor. Add some spices and shape them into patties. Dip into garlicky flour batter then roll into bread crumbs and refrigerate.
Fry them and they are done. Once the burgers are fried, add your cheese, and other toppings as you please.
Make a spicy ketchup by combining, tomato ketchup + mayonnaise and cayenne pepper. This sauce is the base for this burger. Just so so delish! In this burger you have to add some cheese, you simply can’t just skip it.
