Ingredients
For the Barley
- 1 cup Barley pearled barley grains
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 2 Cloves
- 2 Cardamom Pods green cardamom
For the Tikkis
- 1 Potato boiled and grated, large
- 1/2 cup Beans boiled, finely chopped, green
- 1/2 cup Carrot boiled, finely chopped
- 1 Coriander chopped, fresh
- 1 tbsp Chili finely chopped, green, or to taste
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 tsp Chili Powder or to taste, red
- 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1/2 cup Breadcrumb as needed, or more
For Frying
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions
Prepare the Barley
- Soak the barley for at least 4 hours. Then, boil the barley with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, cloves, and cardamom pods until tender. Once cool, discard the cloves and cardamom pods. Rinse the barley and set aside.
Make the Tikki Mixture
- Boil and chop the green beans and carrots. Grate the boiled potato. In a large bowl, combine the cooked barley, grated potato, chopped beans, chopped carrots, chopped coriander, green chilies, red chili powder, lemon juice, salt, and breadcrumbs. Mix well to form a cohesive dough. Adjust the amount of breadcrumbs as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
Shape and Fry the Tikkis
- Shape the mixture into small, flat patties (tikkis). Heat oil in a deep pan or kadai over medium-high heat. Carefully place the tikkis in the hot oil and fry until they turn golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove the tikkis from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve
- Serve the hot and crispy Barley and Vegetable Tikkis with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Barley Tikkis
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of garam masala or other preferred spices to the tikki mixture.
- If you prefer a less spicy tikki, reduce the amount of green chilies or red chili powder.
- To make healthier tikkis, you can shallow fry them instead of deep frying. Use a minimal amount of oil and cook on medium heat until golden brown.
- These tikkis can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a microwave or air fryer before serving.
