Notes
I have not added the boiling time of the potato. You can add in 30 more minutes of boiling and mashing the potato to the total time.
You can pressure cook the potatoes as well. But for best results, you can boil them in the water on stove top.
Remember to remove the potatoes from the water after they done. Do not let them sit in the hot water as that will make your aloo ki tikki to be soggy.
Remove the skin and mash them immediately when they are hot. This will make the mashing easier and you will not be left with any hard pieces of the potato.
Always refrigerate for holding the shape of your tikki.
