### For Assembling the Burger
– 4 burger buns
– 1 cup lettuce leaves
– 1 tomato, sliced

– Green chutney (to taste)
– Yogurt or mayonnaise (optional)

### For the Fries
– 4 large potatoes, cut into wedges or sticks

## Instructions/Steps

### Making the Aloo Tikki
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the boiled and mashed potatoes, breadcrumbs, green peas (if using), chopped onions, green chilies, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, cumin powder, and salt.
2. Mix the ingredients thoroughly and form small, round patties (tikkis) about the size of the burger buns.
3. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the tikkis and cook until golden brown and crispy, approximately 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

### Preparing the Fries
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If you prefer to fry them, heat oil in a deep pan.
2. Toss the cut potatoes with oil, salt, pepper, and any additional spices you want.
3. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes until crispy and golden brown, flipping halfway through. If frying, fry until golden and crispy.

### Assembling the Aloo Tikki Burger
1. Slice the burger buns in half and lightly toast them on a skillet or grill.
2. On the bottom half of each bun, add a lettuce leaf, followed by a fried aloo tikki.
3. Layer with tomato and cucumber slices, drizzle with green chutney, and add yogurt or mayonnaise if desired.
4. Top it with the other half of the bun and serve immediately alongside crispy fries.
