- 1 green chili, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp red chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp coriander powder
- 1/4 tsp garam masala
- Salt to taste
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs (for binding)
- 2 tbsp cornflour (optional, for extra crispiness)
- Oil for shallow frying
For the Burger:
- 4 burger buns
- Butter for toasting buns
- 4 lettuce leaves (optional)
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- 1 small onion, sliced into rings
- 4 slices of cheese (optional)
Sauce Options (use any of your choice):
- Green chutney
- Mayonnaise or mint mayonnaise

- Ketchup
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Aloo Tikki
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, green peas, chopped onion, green chili, coriander leaves, and spices (red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt).
- Add the bread crumbs and cornflour (if using), and mix well. Adjust the consistency to form patties. If too soft, add more bread crumbs.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a round patty.
- Heat oil in a pan and shallow-fry the patties until golden and crispy on both sides. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 2: Toast the Buns
- Slice the burger buns in half. Lightly butter each half.
- Toast the buns on a pan until golden and slightly crisp.
Step 3: Assemble the Burger
- Spread green chutney, tamarind chutney, or mayo on the bottom half of the bun.
- Place a lettuce leaf on the bun, followed by the crispy aloo tikki patty.
- Add a slice of cheese (optional), tomato slices, and onion rings.
- Spread sauce on the top bun and place it over the filling.
Step 4: Serve
- Serve your Aloo Tikki Burger hot with extra ketchup or chutney on the side.
- Enjoy your fusion delight!
This Aloo Tikki Burger pairs well with fries, a side salad, or even masala fries for an extra kick. Enjoy!
