Aloo Tikki is an Indian appetizer that can be served in many different ways. Top it with a little mint and tamarind chutney, onions, cilantro and sev and it’s delicious chaat. Make the tikki a little bigger and use it as a patty for a satisfying veggie burger. Make them tiny and serve as appetizers for a cocktail pary. Aloo Tikki – very versatile, very yummy!

Awesome recipe. Do you boil the potatoes in the pressure cooker, and if so how many whistles? Also, do you directly put them in the cooker with some water or in a separate container inside the cooker. Thanks for clarifying, it would be of great help. A lot of times my potatoes turn out too mushy after being pressure cooked.
Pressure cookers vary greatly so it is really a trial and error process until you come up with what works for your particular model of cooker.
With my pressure pan, I let it whistle only once and switch off the stove. I only open the lid when all of the pressure is gone from the cooker taking it’s own time. A larger pressure cooker I have requires one whistle, but I have to artificially remove the pressure after about 5 minutes by pouring cold water over the lid.
Boiling potatoes in a pot of boiling water may give you more control, but sometimes takes longer. Another great way is to use your microwave. Place whole potatoes in a glass microwave safe bowl, add about 1/2 cup of water, cover with plastic wrap or a lid and cook (usually around 5 minutes). Some newer microwaves even have a “potato” button.
