Mcdonalds aloo tikki burger

The Mcdonalds veggie burger is irresistible. The aloo tikki is super crisp and full of flavor. This is a perfect vegetarian or vegan recipe.

If you are wondering why you have never heard of this burger before, that’s because McDonald’s serves localized burgers in different countries based on regional flavors. MCAlooTikkis (Where aloo means potatoes) is a popular burger in India. Aloo Tikki is a famous snack and street food in India. Mcdonalds has created fusion in a perfect east meets west style and ever since this item has surged in popularity among India crowd, one reason being, the majority of Indians are vegetarians.

Having said that, this time when I was in India I tried the KFC chicken with lemon seasoning. The slightly tangy flavor will send your tastebuds craving for more.

We all understand that fast food is not a good option and its growing concerns about health. So here is an easy homemade version of the famous crispy aloo tikki burger or the Mcveggie burger. This recipe uses a portion of vegetables and potatoes and the outer crisp coating will remind you of the famous burger. This is ideally served with tomato mayo instead of the regular mayo. There is vegetarian mayo available with no eggs in it.

How to freeze the burger?

I fried half and coated the other half in batter and bread crumbs and popped it in the freezer.

To freeze it well, line a sheet or a plate with plastic foil and place the coated patty on the sheet, keeping enough space so that they don’t touch.

Once it hardens in an hour or two, remove and place it in freezer bags or freezer boxes. When ready to use, thaw in the refrigerator (If you transfer the burger from the freezer to the refrigerator at night, it should be ready for frying by morning). Alternately you can place in the counter to thaw for 30 minutes to an hour or thaw in the microwave for a few seconds.

Having the burger coated and ready will make it easier to put together a quick evening snack or for packing a  lunch box.

Apply mayonnaise on the top side of the bread and place lettuce or cabbage in between as a moisture barrier or else it will make the burger soggy.

Mcdonalds veggie burger step 1 Mcdonalds veggie burger step 2 Mcdonalds veggie burger step 3

  1. Add oil and butter in a pan and place on medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic. Once it cooks, add the veggies. Sautee till the veggies are half cooked, and there is no water.

2. Add the spices and mix well for about a minute, then add the onions and fry for another minute.

3. Now add the mashed potatoes and incorporate everything well with a potato masher or flat ladle and mix for an additional minute. Taste and adjust the salt if needed.

4. Turn of the heat, transfer the potato mixture into a bowl and keep aside to cool. Add the bread crumbs and mix well, almost like kneading. Cover the bowl with the lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour so that it hardens a bit for easier handling.

5. Divide the potato mixture into 6 portions, tightly roll into a ball, and flatten it out into 1/2 inch thick patty.

6. Mix all-purpose flour + corn starch + cornmeal(optional) + salt and mix well. Add water little at a time until a slightly thick batter is formed. Mix well and stir the oil in the batter.

7. Carefully dip it in the batter and coat it with bread crumbs.

Deep fry on medium-high heat and fry till golden brown on both sides. I used only enough oil to submerge half of the patty. This is a good option if you don’t want to waste too much oil and if you don’t reuse oil.

Party Appetizer Idea

Serve the burger with mini buns. Divide the potato filling into more portions and make smaller burgers.

  2. Pour oil in a pan and place on medium heat. (I used oil only enough to submerge half of the patty. You can use more oil and deep fry). Test if the oil is hot enough by adding bread crumbs. If it sizzles, that means the oil is ready for frying. Add the burger. After 2-3 minutes turn the burger over. Fry on both sides till the burger is golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel.
