Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 cup Vegetables (such as beetroot, and cabbage - use at least two), bell pepper, broccoli, carrot, cauliflower, chopped, green beans, mixed
Spices and Flavorings
- 1 tsp Ginger grated
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon ground
- 1 tsp Pepper black, crushed
- 1 tsp Cumin Powder roasted
- 1 tsp Lemon Juice
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
Other Ingredients
- 1 cup Potatoes mashed
- 2 tbsp Oil for shallow frying
- 1 tbsp Sesame Seeds for garnish, white
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped mixed vegetables. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. This helps to release their natural sweetness and create a more flavorful tikki.
- Add the grated ginger, cinnamon, and black pepper to the pan. Cook for another minute until fragrant, stirring constantly. This blooms the spices and enhances their flavor.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Set aside to cool slightly. The lemon juice adds a touch of brightness.
- In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes and salt. Mix well.
- Take a portion of the mashed potato mixture and flatten it in your palm. Add a spoonful of the cooled vegetable mixture to the center. Shape into a patty.
- Heat the remaining oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Shallow fry the tikkis until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. This creates a satisfying texture and enhances the overall flavor.
- Garnish with white sesame seeds. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra crispiness, dust the shaped tikkis lightly with rice flour or fine semolina before shallow frying; this creates a golden, crunchy exterior while keeping the inside soft.
- If you want to make the tikkis ahead, shape and refrigerate them (unfried) on a tray for up to 24 hours—this helps them firm up, making frying easier and preventing breakage.
- For a protein boost, add a handful of crumbled paneer or cooked, mashed chickpeas to the potato mixture; this variation also adds a creamy texture and makes the snack more filling.
- Serve the tikkis with a quick homemade tangy dip by mixing yogurt, green chutney, and a pinch of chaat masala; the creamy and spicy contrast pairs beautifully with their flavor profile.
Expert Tips
- Don't overmix the potato mixture, as this can make the tikkis dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying the tikkis. This will prevent them from absorbing too much oil and becoming greasy.
- For even cooking, make sure the tikkis are of uniform size and thickness.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover tikkis in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer for best results.
