Ingredients
Ragi Batter
- 1 cup Ragi Flour 200g
- 1/2 cup Water or as needed
Veggie Filling
- 2 tbsp Oil
- 1/4 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1/2 cup Vegetables beans, bell pepper), cabbage, grated (carrot, mixed
- 1 tbsp Peas green
- 2 tsp Chilies green, minced
- 1 tbsp Tomato chopped
- 2 tbsp Split Chickpea split chickpeas, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Other Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Wheat Bread Crumbs whole
- Salt to taste
- Oil for greasing and cooking
- Coriander Leaves for garnish (optional), fresh
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the ragi flour and water until it forms a smooth batter, similar to the consistency of idli batter.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. This releases their aromatic oils.
- Add the grated mixed vegetables and green peas to the pan. Sauté for a few minutes until slightly softened.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and green chilies. Cook until the tomatoes break down slightly.
- Add the soaked chana dal (without the soaking water) and salt to the pan. Stir well to combine.
- Pour the ragi batter into the pan with the vegetables. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and reaches a dough-like consistency. This helps the tikkies hold their shape.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Once cooled, add the bread crumbs and knead gently to form a dough. The bread crumbs help bind the mixture and add a crispy texture.
- Grease your hands with oil and shape the dough into small, lemon-sized balls. Flatten each ball slightly to form a tikki.
- Heat a dosa tawa or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with oil.
- Place the ragi tikkies on the hot tawa and cook for a few minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, you can deep-fry the tikkies for a crispier result.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves, if desired, and serve hot.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs instead of boneless, skinless breasts.
- Adjust the spice level to your liking by adding more or less chili powder or using a milder variety of chili.
- If you don't have fresh cilantro on hand, you can substitute with parsley or omit it altogether.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover chicken chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- You can also freeze the chili for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
