'''Alu tikki''', also known as '''alu ki tikkia''' or '''alu ki tikki''', is a snack originating from the [[Indian subcontinent]]; in Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi preparation, it is made of boiled potatoes, peas, and various curry spices. "[[Potato|Alu]]" means potato, and "tikki" means a small [[cutlet]] or [[croquette]] in [[Hindi-Urdu]] and [[Marathi language|Marathi]]. It is served hot along with a side of [[Sooth (chutney)|saunth]], [[tamarind]], and [[coriander]]-[[mint sauce|mint]] sauce, and sometimes [[dahi (curd)|dahi]] (yogurt) or chickpeas. The snack is a vegetarian alternative and an Indian equivalent of the [[hash brown]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Why Sweet And Sour Makes The World Go Yum |url=https://www.mid-day.com/articles/why-sweet-and-sour-makes-the-world-go-yum/16723179 |website=mid-day.com |date=3 December 2015 |access-date=13 November 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Aloo tikki |url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/aloo-tikki |website=britannica.com |access-date=13 November 2020}}</ref><br />

==Variations==<br />
Alu tikki are mashed potato patties mixed with [[coriander]], peas, and spices, deep fried in oil. Some North Indian [[dhaba]]s or café-style eateries will sandwich the alu in bread.<br />
<br />
Due to the broad geographical distribution of Indian people throughout the world, a number of variations on this dish exist.<br />
<br />
In [[Mumbai]], a popular version of alu tikki is served with a spicy curry and various chutneys. It is called [[Ragda pattice]] and is sold at various [[chaat]] stalls throughout the city and especially on [[Girgaum Chowpatty|Chowpatti Beach]]. The alu tikki in this region is made of mainly locally grown spices such as [[turmeric]], whereas in [[Bangalore]], more [[coriander]] is used.<br />
<br />
In the [[United Kingdom]], vegetable tikki is available from delicatessen counters at various shops.<br />
