Paneer Stuffed Aloo Tikki Chaat – Ingredients
🥔 Potatoes (Aloo)
Boiled potatoes form the base of the tikki. They provide a soft texture inside and help bind the mixture naturally. Potatoes are also a good source of carbohydrates, giving instant energy.
🧀 Paneer
Paneer is used as the stuffing and adds a rich, creamy texture. It is high in protein and calcium, making this snack more nutritious and filling.
🌽 Chana Sattu and Rice Flour
They act as a binding agent, helping the tikkis hold their shape while cooking and making them crisp from outside. It is an healthier option to skip cornflour or arrowroot powder.
🌿 Coriander Leaves
Fresh coriander enhances the flavor and adds freshness along with mild detoxifying benefits.
🌶️ Spices (Red Chilli Powder, Cumin powder, Coriander powder, Turmeric Powder, Ajwain powder, Chaat Masala)
These spices give the tikki its signature street-style flavor. Cumin and ajwain aids digestion, while chaat masala adds tanginess.
🥣 Curd (Yogurt)
Curd is added as a topping in chaat, giving a cooling effect and balancing the spices. It also adds probiotics, which are good for gut health.
🍯 Tamarind Chutney
Adds a sweet and tangy taste, enhancing the overall flavor profile of the chaat.
🌿 Green Chutney
Made with mint and coriander, it adds freshness and a spicy kick to the dish.
