Ingredients
For the Arbi Tikki
- 250 gm Taro Root arbi, boiled and mashed
- 2 tbsp Chickpeas chana, boiled, cooked
- 1 tbsp Chilies finely chopped, green
- 2 tbsp Rolled Oats
- 2 tbsp Peanuts roasted
- 2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tbsp Coconut grated
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds ground, roasted
- 1 tsp Garam Masala
- 1-2 tsp Salt or to taste
- Sesame Oil as needed, for shallow frying
For Serving (Optional)
- Mango Sauce as needed, homemade or store-bought
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed taro root, cooked chickpeas, and chopped green chilies.
- Add the rolled oats, roasted peanuts, all-purpose flour, grated coconut, ground roasted cumin seeds, garam masala, and salt. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
- Take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into a patty. Gently coat each patty with additional rolled oats for extra crispiness.
- Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Shallow fry the patties in batches until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. This allows the patties to cook evenly and develop a beautiful crust.
- Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Serve the crispy Arbi Tikki hot with your favorite mango sauce. They also make a great appetizer or snack on their own.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs instead of boneless, skinless breasts.
- Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your chicken pieces. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the chicken. This will ensure even cooking and a nice crust.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
