CHOLE TIKKI

CHOLE TIKKI

Chole tikki chat is a lip smacking tasty , filling and delicious chat prepared with Aloo tikki and chole combo served with green and sweet chutney . Tikki chat can be served with different ways . It is loved all over India and is most enjoyed at roadside stalls . It is one of the best evening snack which every family member of mine loves it . You can add curd also and chutneys and masala as per taste . I love tikki chole in Vrindaban outside Banke bihari temple , they serve very crisp tikki with chole and green and sweet chutney . They add arrowroot powder to the potato tikki to make it crisp . You can also use arrowroot powder instead of corn powder . You can sprinkle onion with tomato and a small piece of paneer while serving as per taste .
