Aloo Tikka is a smoky, tasty appetizer made by marinating aloo with spiced curd and grilling it in tawa after skewing it with onion &capsicum in between. Aloo Tikka is a starter & a snack fairly simple to make and liked by all.
Aloo Tikka made on tawa. Tandoori Aloo Tikka or potato tikka is one of the popular starters in restaurants.I have tasted this in a buffet menu and it is a good alternate to the usual paneer tikka.
You can make tikka either in oven or in tawa .Though oven gives that perfect tandoor smokey flavour the tawa version is no less.I often make this potato tikka on tawa during weekends to serve with chapathi and gravy.I have used small or baby potatoes here but you can use regular potatoes too, check my notes.
