Farali Aloo Tikki | Farali Aloo Pattice | Vrat ki Aloo Tikki

One of the most famous and by far my personal favorite amongst the street foods of India is the ultimate crispy and karaari Aloo ki Tikki. Absolutely crisp on the outside with often a spicy filling inside made with chana dal or moong dal and served along with spicy mint-coriander and sweetened tamarind-jaggery chutneys, the aloo tikki is definitely a foodie's delight. 

It's been almost 2 years that I did not happen to eat this lovely snack recipe from the streets of Delhi as I was dealing with quite a number of health issues and also being covid so much around, was avoiding the street food. Having said that, I did make the Stuffed Chana Dal Aloo Tikki just a couple of weeks back at home and thoroughly enjoyed it to my heart's content...if you also want to make the exact similar street style Aloo Tikki recipe, do check it out here....

Now as you know how much I am fond of the Aloo Tikki, I even tried its farali version that can be had in fast and I must say, this too was a treat for my tastebuds. Crispy exterior with a slightly sweet, tangy and spicy filling made with assorted nuts, some khoya/ mawa, raisins and desiccated coconut powder, that taste of the tikki was absolutely beautiful and well-balanced in terms of its flavour profile. Navratris are just around the corner and if you too are planning to make something special for your Vrat or upwas, do check the recipe below....I am sure you are gonna love it.... I enjoyed this tikki with green coriander and peanut chutney....you can pair it with any chutney of your choice.

METHOD

  • In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients mentioned under Filling section above. Mix everything nicely, it should resemble a dough. 
  • Try to make the filling little on a spicier side to balance out on the sweetness.
  • Pinch out small lemon sized portions from the filling, shape into balls and keep aside.
  • Now, in another mixing bowl, combine and knead all the ingredients (except oil) mentioned under the Outer Crust section above.
  • This mixture should also come like a non-sticky dough. You may use a little more arrowroot powder to get the right consistency.
  • From this dough too, pinch out equal lemon size portions and shape into balls.
  • Taking one outer crust ball at a time, tap it a little and flatten on your palms. Place a ball of the stuffing made earlier in the center of the flattened portion. Now gently start gathering the sides and seal the filling nicely inside.
  • Tap a little and shape into a tikki/ cutlet. Continue with all the dough balls.
  • Roll each tikki into arrowroot powder again. Dust off the excess.
  • Heat up the oil in a kadai on medium flame. Gently slide in the tikkis 3 to 4 at a time in the medium hot oil and fry on medium-high flame until golden from all sides.
  • You can also shallow fry if you wish too.
  • Serve hot with any chutney of your choice.
