Aloo tikki is the most popular street food all over North India. This stuffed aloo tikki is a slight variation from the original one. As the name suggests, the recipe uses sprouted masoor dal for stuffing. Masoor dal when sprouted turns out to be sweeter and this combo goes well with spicy potato mixture. Sprouted masoor have greater concentration of vitamins, minerals, proteins and enzymes. Abundant enzymes make them easy to digest. Serve it alone or prepare aloo tikki chaat using these tikkis and enjoy this mouthwatering preparation.
