Modern culinary scene in India has seen a drastic bent towards western foods but our love for Indian street food has never dwindled. We have grown up eating aloo tikkis and samosas but we still drool at the mere sight of these snacks. Be it a street stall, a wedding buffet or home, aloo tikki finds favour on our plate every single time. But when monotony crawls in and you crave for different flavours, add spinach to your tikki to treat your taste buds. Aloo palak tikki brings a vibrant colour and taste to the regular aloo tikki.
The acidic and mildly sweet taste of the spinach adds a whole new dimension to our beloved tikki. Don't we all love hara bhara kebab made with greens? Aloo palak tikki offers that same piquant taste but with the ease of making a simple tikki.
