Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Leftover Rice Tikkis
- For extra crispy tikkis, let the mixture rest for 15-20 minutes after mixing. This helps bind the ingredients.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying. Fry in batches to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- Adjust the spices to your preference. If you like it spicier, add more green chilies or red chili powder.
- Experiment with different chutneys and dips. Mint-coriander chutney, tamarind chutney, or even a simple yogurt dip would complement the tikkis beautifully.
