Aloo Tikki Burger Recipe

Aloo Tikki Burger – Lip-smacking aloo tikkis have been prepared with mashed potatoes, boiled carrots, boiled peas, minced garlic, chopped coriander leaves, bread-crumbs as binding agent and seasoned with red chilli powder, salt and piri piri mix. 

 I have pan-fried tikkis instead of deep-frying. Use homemade whole wheat burger buns to make them even more healthy.
