To make aloo methi tikki, heat the oil in a broad non-stick pan and add the cumin seeds. When the seeds crackle, add the ginger and green chiliees and sauté on a medium flame for 30 seconds. Add the onions and sauté on a medium flame for 1 minute. Add the potatoes, fenugreek leaves, dried fenugreek leaves, salt, garam masala, dry mango powder, turmeric powder and coriander, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes, while stirring continuously. Remove from the flame and allow it to cool completely. Once cooled, divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round ball. Dip each round ball in the plain flour-water mixture and lightly roll them in bread crumbs in such a way that the balls are evenly coated from all the sides. Heat the oil in a kadhai and deep-fry the balls till they are golden brown in colour from all the sides. Drain on absorbent paper. Serve aloo methi tikki immediately with green chutney. 

Aloo and methi are made for each other! Whether as a sabzi or a tikki, the twosome is sure to win the hearts of all diners, young and old. In this particular potato fenugreek tikki, the presence of methi is strongly felt as it is used in both fresh and dried forms. 

This potato snack recipe is further enhanced with common spice powders like garam masala, turmeric powder and dried mango powder along with other effective ingredients like cumin seeds, ginger, onions, and so on. 

This aloo methi tikki has a slightly crispy outer covering because of the use of maida water mixture along with bread crumbs. Once you bite into it, you will enjoy its unique soft texture from within. Serve it fresh with green chutney or a tangy curd dip like Achari Dip, Tahini Dip, Dill Dip or Spiced Tandoori Dip

Tips for aloo methi tikki. 1. While we recommend the use of finely chopped green chillies and ginger for this snack, if you wish you can replace it with ginger green chilli paste. 2. You can make garam masala at home or buy ready-made garam masala. 3. Cooling the mixture of the tikki is very important so the tikkis bind well. 4. The maida-water mixture should not be very thin. It should coat the tikki well. 5. Use one hand to dip the tikki in maida-water mixture and use the other hand to roll the tikki in bread crumbs to avoid both the hands from turning messy. 6. Prefer to deep-fry only 2 tikkis at a time. All 4 tikkis, if deep fried at a time, might lead to disintegration of the tikkis while frying.
