Ingredients
Arbi (Taro Root)
- 250 gm Taro Root arbi, taro root
Spices & Flavorings
- 2 tbsp Gram Flour roasted
- 1 tsp Garam Masala
- 1-2 tsp Salt or to taste
Instructions
- Boil the arbi until tender. This will take about 20-25 minutes, depending on the size of the arbi. You'll know it's done when a fork easily pierces the center.
- Once the arbi has cooled slightly, peel off the skin. The skin should come off easily when cooked properly.
- Mash the peeled arbi thoroughly in a large bowl. Ensure there are no large lumps for a smooth tikki texture.
- Add the roasted gram flour, garam masala, and salt to the mashed arbi.
- Add the green chutney to the arbi mixture. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough to prevent the tikkis from sticking.
- Shape the arbi mixture into small, flat patties. Shallow fry the tikkis for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the crispy arbi tikkis hot with your favorite green chutney. These are delicious on their own or enjoyed with bread or a bun.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs instead of boneless, skinless breasts.
- Adjust the spices to your liking. If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the amount of chili powder or cayenne pepper.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the chicken. This will ensure the chicken cooks evenly and develops a nice crust.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover chicken and sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
