Aloo Poha Tikki Pockets is a wrap made with tikkis and regular rotis filled with a dip that makes it a complete and filling meal.
Aloo Poha Tikkis are shallowly fried and stuffed inside a regular wheat roti along with a creamy dip made with hung curds, mayo, and sauces. I was planning a wrap then thought, since I have covered a wrap and a roll, why not try a pocket.
Of course, the wheat rotis are not exactly the ones you would want to use as a pocket. A typical Pita bread will be apt for it. However, since the rotis were on the card, I decided to go ahead with this flatbread. After assembling, I realized it would have been easier to handle had I arranged as s roll.
Whatever method you follow, this is a sinful meal. I ensured I made the dip more creamy and spicy as well. The tikkis turned out so good that we enjoyed it as such itself.
This is the final dish for the Wraps and Rolls under BM#90 week 3. I surely had a fun time planning these rolls. I had planned for Idlis for dinner and had to resort to these wraps as the whole idea was making it for a meal. So I decided there was no point if I took all the efforts just for the post.
While Hubby dear is not a person who would like these dishes, he was happy each one turned out good. I would surely be making these for Konda, who loves it, unfortunately, all the meals I planned it for, kids were having something else.
Anyway these tikkis are very easy to make, so can be done anytime.

Using the ordinary roti as a pita is a great idea. The tikkis look super delicious and I am not surprised they tasted great on their own.
Rafeeda - The Big Sweet Tooth says
I don't know if I would wait for the tikkis to go into those pockets, I would've eaten it right out of the pan.. hehe... but these tikkis are delicious in wraps, I know because umma used to always do that when she made cutlets...
harini says
What a genius idea to use paratha as a pita pocket. Poha aloo tikkis is looking so crispy.
