Pumpkin Aloo Tikki Burger is a simple recipe and honestly its an on-the spot recipe. By that I mean, it was not planned as a part of my breakfast menu. I had boiled potatoes for making Aloo Tikki Burger. My husband loves Burger..
Who doesnt love a burger?
You are not accepting that you love it because you think its unhealthy. Well I know its not healthy as a fruit but everyone needs a change and so does our mind and body.
If we restrict too much by counting calories, we generally start munching on the cookies, juices and other processed foods. I believe instead of making these foods a forbidden fruit and hence craving more for them, its better to have a cheat meal once every fortnight and not just be obsessed about it.
Recipe Insights
Coming back to how I started with boiled potatoes and finally made a Pumpkin Aloo Tikki Burger. So since I have started Immunity Booster series and Pumpkin is the top most food in it, I asked myself why not try its Tikki?
With all usual ingredients, I added grated raw pumpkin to mashed boiled potatoes, with spices and bread crumbs to absorb extra moisture and shaped like a round patty.
Thats It!!
Pretty Simple. Those who are health conscious may avoid deep frying these patties. I have deep fried them for the burger recipe.
For the Pumpkin Cutlet, I had pan fried them. They also taste good. Once I fried the Tikkis in two batches, I started with making burgers.
Harvest Gold is great when it comes to the fresh buns and I procured from it a day in advance. I love the sesame garnishing at the top of buns and they look authentic and taste awesome!
One may toss the buns on tawa with butter. I generally do that. However, I got my partner in helping me with the burgers and he didnt let me use butter.. Only the one in pics were allowed to be butter-kissed for the shiny clicks!!
Pl feel free to use butter. Applying salads, Mayonnaise, Ketchup and Cheese.. Yeah cheese melted as the tikkis were hot and given the tempertaure in India, even I almost melted while making these delicious burgers!!

- 4-5 medium boiled potatoes
- 500 gm raw pumpkin

- 1 large onion chopped
- 4-5 piece bread
- 2 tablespoon besan (Chickpea flour)
- 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients. For the potatoes, you may boil them in advance. I boiled the potatoes for 2 whistles and simmer for 5-10 min.
- Mash the boiled potatoes in a large bowl. Add grated Pumpkin to it. Add all the spices, salt, green chilly(Chopped fine), grated raw mango, bread crumbs and Besan. Combined it into a thick mixture. If you feel the mixture is runny, add more besan or bread crumbs.
- Make round tikkis. You may apply oil on your hand to make round tikkis
- Deep fry them in batches. Make sure to add them to hot oil and simmer after a while. It takes around 2-3 min to get it fried from both sides. When you take it out, again full the flame or else tikki will seep in lot of oil.
