Aaloo Tikki Chhole- The famous North Indian Street Food

The Aaloo Tikki (potato cutlets) and Chhole (spiced chickpeas) is the famous North Indian Snack. This is my favorite street food. In north India you’ll find many street vendors selling Tikki Chhole in the residential areas on a cycle or ‘thela’. In monsoon the number of vendors increases, you’ll find them outside schools & colleges, in markets, near vegetable market (sabji mandi), near bus stands & railway stations, I mean every where packed with people waiting for their plate of Tikki chhole. The plate is topped with Dahi (curd), onion, tomato, sev, coriander, tamarind chutney, coriander chutney and some spices. My goodness I’m feeling so hungry while listing these ingredients. The taste is tangy and spicy and believe me you just can’t stop after having one plate of Tikki chhole, you’ll surely order for another one immediately.
