This aloo tikki burger is made entirely from whole veggies and is much cheaper to make than spending $10 bucks on a couple of beyond burgers.

Who said plant-based burgers have to be boring? I’m pretty anyone who thinks so must not have tried an aloo tikki burger. For those you who are plant-based but hate the taste or idea of faux-meat, you’ll love this potato and paneer-based burger.

So, What is an Aloo Tikki Burger?

An aloo tikki is one of the most popular street food dishes in Northern India. An aloo tikki is basically a deep-fried spicy potato patty . And in this case, it is also stuffed with some paneer and cheese for extra flavor. It’s crispy on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside. It’s the perfect patty to substitute in place of any burger!

Aloo Tikki Burger – Ingredient Breakdown:

There are five primary components to this dish: (1) the burger, (2) the cilantro chutney, (3) the tamarind chutney, (4) the pickled onions, and (5) green chillies soaked in vinegar. While toppings are always optional, I’d say they’re pretty critical to bringing this whole dish together.

Is It Vegan?

This aloo tikki burger is not vegan because it’s stuffed with paneer. But, if you’re vegan, use a plant-based shredded cheese blend or keep the aloo tikki totally plain!

And for the cilantro chutney you can use plant-based yogurt instead.

How to Make an Aloo Tikki Burger

  1. Boil your potatoes and mash them in a bowl
  2. Mix in your oil and all of your spices until evenly combined
  3. Form your potato mixture into two large patties with your hands – these will be your aloo tikki burgers!
  4. Grab your shredded paneer and the cheese blend of your choice (I used pizza cheese blend) in a 1:1 ratio, and form a small patty by pressing everything together firmly with your hands. Make sure that this patty can fit between the two potato patties you just made.
  5. Note: the amount of cheese and paneer you use is totally up to you! I just eyeballed it. Fit in as much or as little as you like.
  6. Place the paneer patty in the middle of the two potato patties you just made, and press everything together to make one large aloo tikki burger!
  7. Pop your burger into an airfryer at 400 degrees for about 15-20 minutes depending on how crispy you want it. If you’re doing more than one patty at once you can increase the cook time.

Where do I buy all of the spices needed to make an aloo tikki burger?

I recommend checking out your local Indian grocery store! Not just for these spices, but for any of your spice needs. You will get any spice you need for probably a 1/3 or less than other chain grocery stores.

Why is my aloo tikki burger falling apart?

You have to be gentle with this patty and make sure your to heat your pan to a true medium heat. Do not flip your patty over too often. Let it cook on each side thoroughly before flipping so it can “solidify” a little bit.

  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp red chili powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp ginger powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

Aloo Tikki Burger

  • Boil your potatoes and mash them in a bowl
  • Mix in your oil and all of your spices until evenly combined
  • Form two round patties with your hands
  • Grab your shredded paneer and the cheese blend of your choice (I used pizza cheese blend) in a 1:1 ratio, and form a small patty by pressing everything together firmly with your hands. Make sure that this patty can fit between the two potato patties you just made.
  • Note: the amount of cheese and paneer you use is totally up to you! I just eyeballed it. Fit in as much or as little as you like.
  • Place the paneer patty in the middle of the two potato patties you just made, and press everything together to make one large aloo tikki burger!
  • Pop your burger into an airfryer at 400 degrees for about 15-20 minutes depending on how crispy you want it. If you’re doing more than one patty at once you can increase the cook time.

Cilantro Chutney

  • Toss all of your ingredients into a food processor until its smooth to create your chutney!

Pickled Onions

  • Sauté your onions in oil until they soften and then add in the juice of one lime
  • You will see the onions turn bright pink. Now you can add in your chaat masala and red chili powder and cook your onions until all of the lime juice has been absorbed.
  • Note: feel free to mess around with these ratios until you get the taste you like. You can increase or reduce the spice, tanginess, or saltiness by varying the amount of lime, chaat masala, and chili powder you use.

Tamarind Chutney

  • Break apart your tamarind into small pieces and soak it in boiling hot water for at least 30 minutes. The longer you soak it the better!
  • Squeeze out all of the pulp using a sieve. This part sometimes takes a lot of elbow grease – I often spend a good 5-10 minutes doing this step to make sure I’ve gotten all of the pulp out.
  • Note: You may need to soak your tamarind again in a tiny bit more water if you’re not getting out enough pulp.
  • Once you’ve strained all the pulp, just mix in your spices and sugar. I recommend starting with 2 cups of sugar and working your way up to 2.5 depending on the tartness of the tamarind.
  • Refrigerate your chutney overnight, and it should thicken up well.

Green Chillies Soaked in Vinegar

  • Simply chop your green chilies into slices and soak in white vinegar for at least 20 minutes.
