Aloo Methi Ki Tikki

Published: | LAST UPDATED ON: Mar 1, 2021 by Lubna Karim

Aloo Methi Ki Tikki is is my all time favorite tea time snack made with boiled potatoes and fresh fenugreek leaves. These are spicy, delicious and vegan.

Since so long I wanted to try some tikkis. Tikkis always make great combo with evening tea/coffee. A perfect snack to indulge, hot, spicy and yummy. There are many varieties and variations of tikki’s. My all time favorite tikki is aloo methi ki tikki. A perfect blend of mushy potatoes with pungent smelling fresh fenugreek leaves when get in combo with Indian spices gives a delectable tikki.

Nutrition in Fenugreek Leaves:

Fenugreek leaves are enriched with minerals like potassium, calcium, and iron. Fresh leaves comprises 3 to 5 % of protein. The energy value of the potato is approximately the same as bread, but it is a far better balanced food than bread, particularly in its content of potassium, iron, and vitamins C, B1 and G. The potato is also lower in calories. Because potatoes are a starchy food, they put less work on the kidneys. Google Search As Ramadan fasts are going to start in a day or two, a simple and fast snack like tikki’s make perfect entry for the evening Iftar snack. As most of the time is spent on Ibadat (praying) during this holy month, a simple snack which is easy to make with handy ingredients like tikki comes to my rescue. So scroll down for the recipe……

These tikkiya are on last moment rush to participate in Iftar Moments Hijri 1431 hosted by Umm Mymoonah @ Taste of Pearl City.
