    Aloo Tikki Chaat Recipe (Potato Chaat) made with crispy pan-fried patties and easy chaat chutney.

    If you love chaat, then you will love this crowd-pleasing Indian street food recipe. Crispy pan-fried patties are made with vegetables, spices, and herbs. They are served hot with a cold yogurt sauce and a variety of toppings.

    Growing up, we ate Aloo Tikki Chaat as an appetizer every year during Diwali. In addition to Puran Poli aka Vedmi of course for the main meal. Both are must-haves to bring in the Indian New Year!

      I made this for dinner yesterday along with your butter chicken and both were a big hit! We added carrots and peas to the aloo tiki and it was delicious.
