Aloo Tikki Paneer Bhaji: A Street-Style Fusion Chaat

This dish combines two iconic favourites: Aloo Tikki (crispy potato patties) and Paneer Bhaji (a spiced pav bhaji–style paneer curry). The hot and crisp tikkis form the base, while a generous ladle of paneer bhaji makes it hearty and flavourful. Finally, a drizzle of tangy tamarind chutney, spicy green chutney, and crunchy sev brings in that unmistakable Indian street-food vibe.

Perfect as a snack, appetiser, or even a light dinner, this dish is filling, protein-rich (thanks to paneer), and festive enough for parties.

Step 1
