Aloo tikki is a North Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi snack made out of boiled potatoes, onions and various curry spices. "Aloo" means potato, and the word "tikki" means a small cutlet or croquette in Hindi, Marathi, and Tamil. It is served hot and warm along with a side of saunth, tamarind and coriander-mint sauce, and sometimes yogurt or chick peas. It is a vegetarian alternative, and an Indian equivalent of the hamburger. It is sometimes referred to some as a "potato burger".
In Mumbai, India a popular version of aloo tikki is served with a spicy curry and various chutneys. It is called "Ragda pattice" and is sold on the various chaat stalls throughout the city and especially the Chowpatti Beach.
Aloo tikki is mashed potato patties mixed with coriander, onion and spices, deep-fried in oil. Some North Indian dhabas or café-style eateries will sandwich the aloo in bread.
In the United Kingdom, vegetable tikki is available from delicatessen counters at various shops. It is very popular in the East Midlands area.
