Crispy Aloo Tikki Recipe (Potato Cutlet) | Indian Appetizer
Aloo tikki (translates to: potato cutlet or croquette) is an Indian appetizer made with boiled potatoes and spices. I usually serve these cutlets with mint chutney and lime wedge to provide extra tanginess. Enjoy these cutlets as a party appetizer or as an evening snack.
