Making Katori Aloo Tikki or Aloo Tikki in a Bowl
- Coat a ramekin with adequate amount of butter
- Preheat oven to 200C for a minimum of 20 minutes now
- Divide the dough into 6 parts I made them into 4 parts, the crust was a little too thick, so I reduced the thickness later on
- Dust a rolling board, shape them round,
- Flatten it on the board and roll it to a size bigger than the ramekin
- Transfer it to a ramekin and tuck it in
- Make holes at the bottom of the ramekin, the katori or cup bakes well
- Now add the prepared aloo or potato filling till about 2/3rds full
- Bake around 2 at a time, for a minimum of 20 minutes at 200C
- The katori or bowl will turn golden brown when it is baked adequately
- After it is baked, take it out of the oven and let it cool and firm up for about 10 minutes
- Transfer the katori aloo Tikki or potato cutlet in a bowl onto a plate
- Add around 2 tablespoons of aloo bhujia to this
- Add some imli or tamarind chutney on the top
- Serve when it is hot!
