Aloo Tikki is a quick and easy snack recipe using potatoes. Potato Patties or Aloo Tikkis made with grated potatoes and some mild Indian spices to kick-start a great evening after a nap. Well that’s what we did anyway. While potato bajji or onion bajji are TH’s favourite, I prefer these simple aloo tikkis to more popular Indian snacks with potatoes, even aloo bonda.Quick Potato Patties / Aloo Tikki RecipePinNaps make me hungry. The reason why I don’t like napping in the afternoon is precisely that. And the fact that I take much longer to sleep off in the night and wake up cranky the next day morning. So not worth it.

Anyway, on this particular Saturday, the heat was unbearable and TH and I had exhausted the movie CDs we borrowed. With no inclination to go out whatsoever, we decided to nap, something we hardly ever do. I woke up 2 hours later feeling oh-my-god-I-am-hungry and of course, there were no snacks at home that I could immediately bite into.
Quick Potato Patties / Aloo Tikki RecipePinWithout thinking much, I grabbed 2 potatoes, grated them, threw in whatever I fancied which I hoped would balance the taste, and shallow fried into patties. The measurements are all eye-balled so adjust and add according to your taste.

They were good. Sinfully good.
