- If you don't have fresh coriander, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of dried coriander powder.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies based on your spice preference. For milder tikkis, omit them entirely.
- Leftover tikkis can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave before serving.
