# Palak Aloo Tikki - Aloo Palak Tikki - Quick & Easy Snack Recipes

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](https://www.cookingandme.com/2009/06/quick-potato-patties-aloo-tikki-recipe.html) 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.
