Directions for Achari Chole Aloo Tikki Chaat Recipe

To make the Chana Masala 

  1. To begin making the Chole Aloo Tikki Chaat Recipe,we will first soak the Chola completely immersed in water for about 8 to 10 hours. After the soaking period, cook the Chola along salt and with its soaked water, adding additional water if required. Cook until it is soft and tender.

  2. You will know it's cooked right, when you press the Chola between your fingers it will mash easily. Keep the cooked Chola aside.

  3. Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed pan. Add the cumin, ginger and bay leaves and stir-fry for a few seconds till you can smell the aromas coming through.

  4. Stir in the tomato puree and the spice ingredients and saute until the color changes to a dark brown color. The anardana powder, along with the black pepper and the dry mango powder will help in getting the desired brown color for the chana masala.

  5. Once browned, add in the cooked chickpeas into the masala and stir all the masala well into the chickpeas so that it coats it well. Check the salt and spice levels and adjust to suit your taste. Cover the pan, turn the heat to low and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes until the Chola gets well coated with the masala and looks brown as well.

  6. Cover the pan, turn the heat to low and simmer the Chana Masala for about 30 minutes until the chana gets well coated with the masala and has attained an outer brown coating. Give the Chana Masala a final taste. Keep it aside.

To make the Achari Aloo Tikkis

  1. In a large mixing bowl, mash in both the boiled regular potatoes and sweet potatoes. Add the ginger, green chillies,  onion, chilli powder, garam masala powder, some salt to taste and finally a tablespoon of corn flour binding.

  2. Mix all the ingredients well and shape them into circular discs of desired sizes (about 1-1/2 inch diameter).
