Aloo Tikki with Sambal Chili Crunch
Aloo Tikki is a crispy potato patty that’s packed with flavor, and is a popular Indian street food. Traditionally enjoyed with tangy chutneys and yogurt, this vegetarian delight offers a satisfying crunch and a burst of aromatic spices. Its base is fairly versatile; you can customize your patties with green peas or ginger for a more unique, and fragrant twist. You can also elevate your experience with Homiah Shrimp Sambal Chili Crunch, a guilt-free topping that blends spicy, savory, and sweet flavors – which is what What Marie Made did.
