Aloo Tikki Chaat
Today, I am going to share with you recipe of my all time favorite dish aloo tiki chaat. I remembered when I was kid and went to restaurant I always order aloo tikki chaat. Aloo tikki chaat is crispy crunchy aloo patties stuffed with chunked filling and serve hot with yummy mint chutney and turmind chutney.
In north India you will find aloo tikki chaat stalls in every corner, here in Canada, I don’t eat aloo tikki chaat outside because it’s not spicy as in India and not even crunchy and crispy. So I always make at home when I feel like eating something spicy and yummy.
