About Arbi Tikki
Arbi, a nutrient-rich root vegetable loaded with magnesium, iron, fiber, and antioxidants, takes center stage in this delightful snack recipe. Not only are its roots packed with essential minerals like potassium, manganese, zinc, copper, and phosphorus, but even the leaves are edible, making it a versatile ingredient in Indian homestyle cooking.
Here, Arbi is transformed into crispy, golden tikkis by combining it with corn flour and a blend of aromatic spices like turmeric, red chili, and roasted cumin powder. Shallow frying ensures each tikki is irresistibly crunchy on the outside while remaining tender inside, making it a perfect choice for brunch, lunch, dinner, or anytime snacking.

- For an extra-crispy exterior, after shaping the tikkis, dust them lightly with additional corn flour or rice flour before frying.
- If you prefer a gluten-free version, ensure your corn flour is certified gluten-free, or substitute with besan (gram flour) for a nutty flavor and added binding.
- Serve the tikkis with a tangy chutney like mint-coriander or tamarind-date, and garnish with finely chopped onions and fresh coriander for a vibrant presentation.
