All my indians readers surely know of the well known mc donald's Aloo Tikki Burger, well this post is not trying to replicate the mc donald's aloo tikki burger recipe, but a north indian street food that is often sold on the streets of delhi and gurgaon....

I remember me and hubby loved to gorge on these aloo tikki burger so much, that we would often go to this street vendor making these near our friends home in delhi and have the aloo tikkis served warm to us sandwiched in between the buns with butter, tomato ketchup and sliced veggies but i avoid that, if you can wants veggies add sliced onion and cucumber...
