Aloo Tikki Burger

Aloo tikki burger – a fusion snack recipe that combines Indian traditional chaat and western fast food.

Aloo Tikki Burger served in a plate.

Tikki is made from boiled potatoes and green peas with some Indian spices and lemon juice. If you want you can add shreeded carrot or boiled and mashed green beans, corn or other veggies of your choice. If other veggies are added then this will be veggie burger not aloo tikki burger.

The spread or sauce and toppings for this burger are very usual and common. Mayonnaise and ketchup is used as a spread while lettuce, tomato and onion is used as toppings. If you like you can add shredded carrots or beetroots as well. If the lettuce is not available then use the cabbage leaf. Please steam the cabbage leaves, so it softens a bit and then use in the burger.

For the variations, try with flavored mayonnaise. One reader suggested to mix the mayonnaise with little basil pesto, very clever idea.

As you know that aloo tikki is most popular snack or street food in India. And this tikki is used as a patty for this Indo-western burger. I have made the patties same as my aloo tikki recipe.

Addition of cheese and melting it slightly on the patty while cooking it in the pan, makes it more delicious and flavorful. Also fresh veggies as a topping gives crunchy and fresh flavors to the burger.

Here I have used potato burger buns. You can use whole wheat or multigrain burger buns for healthier option.

I would consider homemade aloo tikki burger is healthy even though it is not. It is healthier than outside fast food because patty is not fried. Veggies used in topping are fresh and  hygienic. Hence homemade fast food is always healthy, hygienic and delicious.

Serving suggestion: Serve french fries or baked potato wedges (for healthier option) on side and make it a meal. Other options for sides are light veggie salad or sweet potato fries or potato chips. Serve a glass of juice or soda on side. Kids will love it. Make small sized burger and enjoy it as a snack. It can be light meal if french fries or oven baked potato wedges or vegetable salad is served on side.
