There is nothing that matches the satisfaction of a home-cooked meal. And when it comes to making your favourite fast food item at home, the joy gets doubles. A new video making rounds on Instagram shows how to make an aloo tikki burger at home. The clip was not shared by a chef or a food vlogger, but by a “dadi.” Isn't that amazing? Needless to say, people are loving the recipe. The video starts with a fun poem by the elderly woman: “Kyu ban gaya hai tu bandar? Daal roti se tujhe lagta hai dar. Khana khana hai to aaja hamare ghar. Kyuki aaj hum bana rahe hai aloo tikki burger. [Why have you turned into a monkey? Are you scared of dal and roti? If you want to eat, come over to our place, because today we're making aloo tikki burgers].”
The woman begins by placing a wok on the stove and filling it with oil. While the oil heats up, she starts preparing the mixture for aloo tikki. In a bowl, she takes boiled, peeled potatoes and adds corn flour, salt, red chilli powder, chopped ginger, chopped garlic, green chilli, peas and chopped coriander, mixing everything to create a fine mixture. To shape the tikkis, she applies some oil to her palms and forms small, flattened balls. Once done, she fries the tikkis in the hot oil.
Next, she takes a griddle and spreads some butter on it. After heating the buns, she applies mayonnaise to one side, places a tikki on it, adds a layer of tandoori mayonnaise, followed by sliced tomatoes, sliced onions and a cheese slice. She then spreads some tandoori mayonnaise on another bun before finally sandwiching them both together. Voila, the burger is ready to be served.
