Crispy Aloo Tikki is a popular street food chaat that can be made in a variety of ways.  Any way you prepare these tikkis, they are sure to turn out great!  They taste especially delicious with cilantro chutney or tamarind chutney. One of my favorite toppings is spiced chola (this recipe for crispy aloo tikki is with spicy chola topping).

This recipe will serve 4 and will make 8 tikki
