Please take pictures too. Aloo ki tikki looks yum in words, but we need to enjoy it in pictures as well. Smile

Is this aloo ka tikki similar to aloo cutlet?

Yes, Aaloo ki tikki is potato cutlets, served with additional accompaniments like chole, sour-sauces and cut slices of onion. It is a snack item, and the main part is the potato cutlet. And, in my opinion, the ones served in a dhaba or in street-stalls in India give you the authentic taste. The ones that I have had in the state that I live in, are hopeless. Let me know if you get good ones in your state. Smile
