Chickpea Potato Patties, Chickpea Aloo Patties Recipe

Pin

Chickpea potato patties (aloo chana patties or tikki) is the perfect snack recipe if you want to make a slight deviation from the usual and want to prepare an evening snack for tea for guests. I actually made these to take to a friend's place for a potluck. The best about chickpea potato patties is that you can also squish them between burger buns, add some condiments and vegetable slices to call it a vegetable burger.

I tried two methods to make the patties - pan frying and baking. The pan-fried chickpea potato patties turned out great (of course) and the baked version was a bit on the dry side (which chickpea patties tend to be) so probably better to make them that way if you plan to use them as burger patties or just don't like fried snacks.

Coming to the flavours you can add to the patties - I stayed on the regular chilli, coriander, salt, garam masala trail but added a dash of freshly cracked black pepper for an added kick. Chopped coriander leaves add a nice twist too and I'd highly recommend this as well if you have some lying around. Beyond that, sky is the limit, you can add pretty much whatever else your mind fancies. Garlic powder, cayenne chilli, dried herbs like oregano or basil, the base of potato and chickpeas really lends itself well for experimentation so take it away!
