Questions

What is Aloo Tikki?

What should Aloo Tikki look like when it is ready?

What can I use instead of amchur in Aloo Tikki?

The entry for Aloo Tikki calls for 1/2 tsp dry mango powder. In its place: Lemon or lime juice added at the end, about a teaspoon per half teaspoon of powder.

Is Aloo Tikki spicy?

Moderately. The heat in Aloo Tikki comes from 2 green chilies, minced. For a milder plate, remove the seeds and ribs from the chilies, or use half; nothing else in the method changes. For more, add it at the table rather than in the pot, so everyone sets their own level.
