Our take
CleanPlate reviewPotato tikki: short list, 500 mg sodium
Amul Happy Treats Aloo Tikki is potatoes (73%), refined palmolein oil, corn flour, rice flakes, green chilli, garlic, ginger, salt, onion powder, red chilli and cumin. The pack is 400 g, 10 pieces of 40 g, and the panel is printed per 100 g.
CleanPlate scores it EA3. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by potatoes, edible vegetable oil and corn flour), and almost no additives. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (500 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (3.5 g per 100 g).

A closer look
Does the label add up?
Potatoes (73%), edible vegetable oil (refined palmolein oil), corn flour, green chilli paste, rice flakes, garlic paste, ginger paste, iodized salt, dehydrated white onion powder, red chilli flakes and cumin seeds.
Per 100 g: 150 kcal, 7 g fat of which 3.5 g saturated, 0 g sugar of which 0 g added, 1.4 g protein, 500 mg sodium. Energy is within 4% of the Atwater sum (157 against 150 kcal). Total sugars print as 0.0 g, a little low for 73% potato (about 1 g per 100 g), which is accepted at its rounding; the low-resolution back print was not used. Net 400 g, serve 40 g.
Ingredients to watch
- SodiumWorth watching
500 mg per 100 g, 83% of the 600 mg high line, about 200 mg in a 40 g serve.
- Saturated fatWorth watching
3.5 g per 100 g from palmolein oil, 70% of the 5 g high line.
- ProteinWorth watching
1.4 g per 100 g, too little to earn credit.
- FibreWorth watching
No fibre is printed, so none is credited.

Smarter ways to eat it
Bake or air-fry

Add curd or a salad
Plain curd adds protein, which the tikki itself barely has at 1.4 g per 100 g.
