Instructions
Prepare the Tikki Mixture
- Combine rolled oats, mashed potatoes, peas, grated carrot, zucchini, corn kernels, cottage cheese, coriander, green chili, mint leaves, ginger, lemon juice, salt, red chili powder (optional), amchur powder (optional), and garam masala (optional) in a large bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Shape the Tikkis
- Gently form the mixture into small, flat patties (tikkis). The size will depend on your preference.
Prepare the Coating (Optional)
- In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Dip each tikki into the slurry, then coat with bread crumbs (optional).
Pan-Fry the Tikkis
- Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the tikkis in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd. Pan-fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve and Enjoy
- Remove the tikkis from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or yogurt dip.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Oats Tikkis
- For extra flavor, marinate the tikki mixture for 30 minutes before shaping.
- If the mixture is too dry, add a tablespoon or two of water to achieve a better consistency.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Experiment with different spices and herbs to create your own unique flavor combinations. Consider adding cumin, turmeric, or other spices you enjoy.
