the duo of the crisp plus golden potato patties and the spicy chickpea curry is always served with coriander – mint chutney and tamarind-dates chutney. sometimes shredded cabbage, carrots, chopped onions and cucumber raita or carrot raita are also served.

the first time i had aloo tikki chole chaat was at punjabi ghasitaram halwai‘s shop in mumbai. now after having the mumbai ragda patties, the simple to look at aloo tikki chole was a bursting of so many flavors and tastes in the mouth. i couldn’t believe what i was eating. it was soooo good. in fact i loved it more than ragda patties and my favorite pani puri.

the aloo tikki chole served at the shop was a stuffed aloo tikki with chana dal filling. the two golden browned crisp large tikkis were served with spicy chole with toppings of tamarind-dates chutney and green chutney – again the whole thing topped with onions and chaat masala. everything about that aloo tikki chole was perfect. the tikkis were too large that the whole plate was so filling.

they had newly opened their shop and the stuff was too good in the beginning. later when i have had the tikkis there, it was a disappointment. it was not the trademark delhi style aloo tikki. something had gone wrong.

so after moving to delhi, there have been many occasions when we would buy or have aloo tikki chole. and each halwai or shop had their own stamp of taste and flavor on the aloo tikki chole. it is difficult to get the recipes out from them as the recipes are a part of their business lineage and a well guarded secret.

as a norm, when i make chole, i always make some extra. so the next day we have the chole with aloo tikkis or i make toast sandwiches from them. a chole sandwich is too good and you must try making one.

so when i had made the amritsari chole, i served the chole next day with the aloo tikki. i made plain tikkis. the tikkis by themselves were so good and with the amritsari chole, it was a double dose of deliciousness.

now these tikkis can also be served plain with some sauce or chutney. they also can be stuffed in burgers, pita breads or even sandwiches. since the flavor of the tikki is indianised, while adding in the burgers or breads, use indian flavored spicy or sweet chutneys or spice mixes or herbs. you can even use veggies like sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, boiled beetroots or cabbage. you can also check this veggie burger recipe.
