Palak Aloo Tikki – Aloo Palak Tikki – Quick & Easy Snack Recipes

November 23, 2015 2 Comments

I love aloo tikki more so for its simplicity than the fact that tikkis in general are so delicious. I often make aloo tikki with grated potato which makes it so much quicker since you don’t have to boil the potatoes first but my mom in law recently introduced me to this lovely aloo tikki with palak or spinach which bowled me over. You do need to boil the aloo and do a bit of sautéing and mixing but oh it’s definitely worth it.

We actually made two kinds of tikkis (or koftas or cutlets,they were kinda similar), one with aloo and palak and one with raw banana. The raw banana one was more like a kebab and a tad more time consuming while these aloo palak tikkis came together in a jiffy especially since we boiled the potatoes ahead of time.

    My teenage daughters dont like palak so tried this. They loved it. What a great way to get them to eat palak. I used amaranth flour instead of besan and shallow fried them. Worked well. Thanks and God Bless!
