Aaloo Tikki Burger

Aaloo tikki burger is famous amongst kids. They like it a lot. Well it is famous amongst youngsters as well. Whenever I have carving for tikki or burger, I make this easy burger recipe with easily available ingredients in my kitchen.

This aaloo tikki burger is complete Indian style with tamarind chutney, coriander chutney in it. To make it healthy, I have used few veggies like capsicum and peas. Cucumber, tomato and onion are used as toppings. This tastes good with tomato ketchup. To make it more healthy, the tikkis are shallow fried on a nonstick griddle. Generally the tikkis in the burgers (available in streets) are deep fried which adds on to the calories.

• Bread crum – ½ cup (almost of three bread slices)
• Coriander leaves – few (finely chopped)
• Red chilli powder – ¼ tsp
• Dry Mango Powder – ¼ tsp
• Coriander powder – ¼ tsp
• Salt – to taste

Method:

1. Boil the potatoes, peel the skin and mash in a big bowl.
2. Boil the peas in an open pan for five minutes, drain the water and add to the mashed potatoes.
3. Add finely chopped capsicum and onion
4. Add bread crums and chopped coriander leaves. Now add other spices.
5. Mix them thoroughly to make a firm concrete mixture.
