Tikki is a popular Indian snack made from mashed potatoes and spices, often shaped into small patties. It is typically shallow-fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Tikki can be enjoyed on its own or served with various chutneys, such as mint chutney or tamarind chutney, enhancing its flavor. There are many regional variations of Tikki, with some incorporating ingredients like peas or lentils. One well-known version is Aloo Tikki, which specifically uses potatoes. Tikki is often served as a street food item and is a favorite among both locals and tourists in India.
