Ingredients
For the Tikki
- 1/2 cup Potatoes mashed
- 7-8 Carom Leaves chopped, fresh
- 1 Tbsp Chilies finely chopped, green
- 1 Tbsp Garam Masala roasted
- Salt to taste
For the Carom Seed Infusion
- 1 tsp Carom Seeds
- Sesame Seed Oil as needed
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes until tender. Drain and mash them thoroughly. Set aside.
- Heat sesame seed oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped green chilies and carom leaves. Sauté for a minute until slightly softened. Season with salt. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In the same pan, heat a little more sesame seed oil. Add the carom seeds and stir for a few seconds until fragrant. This releases their aromatic oils. Add the mashed potatoes, salt, and roasted garam masala. Mix well. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
- Take a handful of the potato mixture. Create a well in the center and fill it with the sautéed carom leaves and chilies. Shape the mixture into a flat, round tikki.
- Heat sesame seed oil in a pan over medium heat. Shallow fry the tikkis, turning them occasionally, until both sides are golden brown and crispy. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs instead of boneless, skinless breasts.
- Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more or less chili powder or using a milder variety.
- If you don't have fresh cilantro on hand, you can substitute with parsley or omit it altogether.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
