If you don’t have an air fryer, there are still other methods you can use to make this recipe. You can shallow fry your aloo tikki patties on a skillet the same way you’d cook a burger patty, or you can use your oven on the convection setting. However, the cook time may need to be increased by 5-10 minutes. Also, make sure to flip your patties half way through the cooking process.
Nope! I think russet potatoes also work well for this recipe.
