Instructions
 

Prepare the Spinach

  • Blanch the spinach in boiling water for 1 minute, then immediately plunge into ice water to retain its vibrant green color. Squeeze out excess water and finely chop the spinach.

Combine Ingredients

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, chopped spinach, tikka masala, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Shape the Tikkis

  • Divide the mixture into small, equal-sized portions. Shape each portion into a small patty or tikkis, about 1-inch thick.

Coat and Fry

  • Lightly coat each tikkis in bread crumbs. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Carefully place the tikkis in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Serve

  • Remove the Palak Tikkis from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or yogurt dip.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Palak Tikkis

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of garam masala or cumin powder to the tikkis mixture.
  • If the mixture is too wet, add a tablespoon or two of bread crumbs to help bind it together.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the tikkis; this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy tikkis. Fry in batches if necessary.
  • For a healthier option, you can bake the tikkis in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
