Food porn: Aloo-ki-tikki, Indian potato pancakes

aloo ki tikki

This trio of tiny little cakes are aloo-ki-tikki, pancakes made from mashed potatoes that have been fried, sauced with a tamarind chutney, and garnished with chopped onions. The potato pancakes were lightly spiced and soft inside, dark, but only slightly crisp on the outside. I didn't love the tamarind chutney all over each pancake, as I would have liked to have it on the side so I could add the amount I wanted. I would have preferred a chutney that was more spicy than sweet.

They were good, but not good enough to steal my stomach away from samosas.

The decor sucks, it's basically a wharehouse, but at lunch time you'll see people coming in droves. The food is excellent. Also, the Chinese guy who yells the orders to the cooks and speaks perfect Hindi always trips me out.
