Aloo might not be a vegetable that Indians discovered first but it is definitely among the most cultivated and consumed in the country. People fasting on Mondays during Sawan often look forward to eating potato-based snacks. Here are some no-onion and no-garlic options.

Aloo Patties

Prepare a spiced mixture of mashed potatoes, boiled peas, and Indian spices. Shape it into patties and shallow fry them until crispy.

Dahi Aloo Chaat

Shallow-fry large chunks of potatoes until crispy and top them with tamarind chutney, curd, chaat masala, and green chutney.

Aloo-Sago Vada

Sabudana vada is prepared by combining sago with boiled potatoes and spices. This delicious recipe is a perfect snack for people observing a fast.

Aloo Corn Tikki

In a bowl, mash potatoes and corn and combine with spices. Grease your palms and shape the mixture into small tikkis which you can shallow fry.

Aloo Samosa

If you are eating maida or atta while fasting, you can use any millet-based flour to prepare aloo samosa. Serve it with green chutney to enjoy with tea.

Aloo Chaat

When nothing seems like a good option, shallow fry aloo chunks until the surface turns brown and crispy. Top these with green chutney and sliced ginger.

Aloo Pakora

One of the easiest snacks to enjoy during fasts is aloo pakora. Add sliced or chopped potatoes into a spiced batter of gram flour and deep-fry coated aloo.
