2 teaspoons Oil, plus more to cook tikki
1 Small Onion, finely chopped
1 cup Green peas
1 teaspoon Ginger-garlic paste
½ teaspoon Red chili powder
1 teaspoon Pav bhaji masala
½ teaspoon Ground Cumin
½ teaspoon Chaat Masala
¼ cup All-purpose flour
½ cup Bread crumbs
2 teaspoons Lemon or Lime juice
To taste Salt

Other Ingredients:

8 Store-bought or Homemade Roti or Tortilla
As needed Mayonnaise or Hung Curd
2 cups Shredded Cabbage or lettuce or salad mix
2 teaspoons Lemon juice

Instructions

Make Pickled Onions:

Place the sliced onions in a sieve or colander. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Pour the boiling water on the red onions and drain well.
In a small mixing bowl, combine vinegar, salt, sugar, chili, garlic and cilantro. Add the drained onions to the vinegar mixture, mix well and cover and set aside for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to mingle.*

Make Aloo Patty:

Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a medium size sauté pan on medium heat. Add onions and cook until translucent, about 3~4 minutes. Add ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1 minute. Next add green peas, chili powder, pav bhaji masala, ground cumin and salt. Cook for 2~3 minutes. Turn off the heat and add chaat masala and lemon juice.
In a medium size mixing bowl, mash the boiled and peeled potatoes. Add the cooked onion mixture to the mashed potatoes. Stir in flour and bread crumbs. Mix well to form a smooth dough. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Divide the potato mixture into 8 equal size balls. Shape them into either long rolls, like kebabs or pat them down into round patties. Heat a medium size pan with 2 tablespoons of oil. Place about 3~4 patties in the hot pan and shallow fry them until golden brown on both sides. Remove onto paper towel lined plate. Repeat with the remaining patties.

Assemble the Aloo Tikki Wrap:

Warm the roti or tortilla briefly in a microwave or on a dry skillet or griddle until pliable. Spread mayonnaise or hung curd all over the tortilla. Place tikki on the lower half of the wrap, top it with shredded cabbage and pickled red onion. Roll the wrap up from the bottom tucking in the sides to hold the filling. Serve immediately.

Notes

Instead of making aloo frankie you can make veg frankie roll by adding more veggies to the potato mixture.
- Carrot, green beans, cauliflower, corn, peppers etc. are all great to add in this recipe. Make sure to finely chop them.
- Cook them along with onions until tender before adding them to the mashed potato.

Flavorings can be customized to your liking. Garam or Kitchen king masala are great options. Or keep it simple and just use salt and pepper.
If the potato mixture does not hold together, than stir in some flour and/ or bread crumbs to form a cohesive mixture.
Aloo tikki can be made 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. But the assembled frankie are best to eat the same day.
To make the pickled onions, you can use either rice or white wine or apple cider vinegar.
Pickled onions are great to use on burgers and sandwiches.
You can jazz up the shredded cabbage by making a homemade cabbage slaw. Simple mix lemon juice and salt to the shredded cabbage. Mix well and use. Other grated veggies like carrot, peppers, zucchini can also be added to this slaw.
Here are a few more Indian vegetarian wrap recipes:
- For a quick meal, use leftover roti and potato curry. Follow the recipe and make chapati potato roll.
- Make Alu paneer frankie - add a cup of grated paneer to the mashed potato along with the sautéed veggies.
- Alu cheese frankie - this is my kids favorite. Make the aloo tikki recipe as written. But while making the wrap, add some grated cheese along with the shredded cabbage.
