Ensure the potatoes are mashed thoroughly to avoid lumps in the tikki.

Soak the poha in water for a few minutes before adding it to the mixture to soften it.

Adjust the spices according to your taste preferences.

Fry the tikkis on medium heat to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.

Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes?

Yes, you can use sweet potatoes, but the flavor and texture of the tikkis will be slightly different.

Can I bake the tikkis instead of frying?

Yes, you can bake them at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, for a healthier option.

How do I soak the poha?

Rinse the poha under running water and let it sit for a few minutes until it softens. Drain excess water before adding it to the mixture.

Can I freeze the tikkis?

Yes, you can freeze the uncooked tikkis. Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe container. Fry them directly from frozen when needed.

What can I serve with potato tikkis?

Potato tikkis pair well with mint chutney, tamarind chutney, or ketchup. You can also serve them with yogurt or a side salad.
