Baked Aloo Tikki Tokri (Multi-Grain) Recipe

imageThis recipe has been prepared in such a manner that it can be be eaten as a finger-food. I have given a twist to aloo tikki chat by serving it inside a baked multigrain tokri. Simply, hold it in your hand and relish the flavor of aloo tikki (served inside a crispy tokri) along with white vatana/matar , meethi chutney (prepared with tamarind and jaggery), hari chutney (prepared with coriander leaves) and yogurt. Each and every bite is absolutely scrumptious and is packed with varied flavors.

Tokri has been prepared with maize (makai) flour, sorghum flour (jowar) and whole wheat (gehun) flour. These baked tokris are absolutely crispy and only half tablespoon of oil has been used in preparing them. Tokris do not become squashy with chutneys and yogurt until and unless they are kept for long.

You can prepare these tokris in advance and store them in an airtight container. Just heat them in an OTG/ Microwave for crispiness before using.

It is a perfect snack for parties. Prepare in advance and assemble at the time of serving.

  3. Divide the dough into 5 portions.
  4. Roll each portion till it is thinner than a chapati.
  5. Using a cutter, cut the rolled dough into shape of a circle. Cutter’s size should be larger than the size of a single indentation of muffin pan. Diameter and height of indentation should be taken into consideration.
  6. Grease muffin pan with some oil and place dough circles in each indentation.
  7. Bake at 200°C for 10-12 minutes in a preheated oven. Baked baskets should not be soft when you touch them. If they are soft, bake again for a few minutes.

imageMulti-grain Savoury Baskets have been prepared with maize (makai) flour, sorghum flour (jowar) and whole wheat (gehun) flour. You read it right… no refined flour has been used.
