Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 50 gm Oats
- 1/4 cup Chickpeas mashed, cooked
- 100 gm Spinach fresh
- 50 gm Cottage Cheese grated
Spices and Flavorings
- 1/4 tsp Carom Seeds ajwain
- 1/4 tsp Fennel Seeds saunf
- 1/4 tsp Pepper black
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
Coating
- 1/4 cup Breadcrumb
- 2 gm All-Purpose Flour
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, combine the oats, mashed chickpeas, spinach, paneer, carom seeds, fennel seeds, black pepper, salt, and flour.
- Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still slightly coarse. Avoid over-processing, as this will result in a dense tikki.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Shape the mixture into flat, round patties of medium thickness.
- Coat each patty evenly with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure they adhere.
- Place the tikkis on a microwave-safe grilling rack. Grill on high for about 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Flip the tikkis and grill for another 5 minutes, or until the other side is equally golden and crispy.
- Serve the spinach and oats tikkis hot with your favorite chutney or yogurt dip.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra crunch, lightly coat each tikki in additional oats before pan-frying.
- If you prefer a vegan version, substitute paneer with firm tofu crumbles and use a chickpea flour slurry instead of dairy-based binding agents.
- To keep the spinach vibrant and prevent excess moisture, briefly sauté it before mixing with the other ingredients.
- Leftover tikkis freeze well.
Expert Tips
- Serve these tikkis with a cooling yogurt dip or a spicy chutney for a balanced flavor profile.
- Experiment with different spices like cumin, coriander, or garam masala to customize the flavor of your tikkis.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying; this ensures even cooking and a crispy exterior.
Storage Instructions
- Cool leftover tikkis completely.
- Layer them with parchment paper in an airtight container.
- Store in the freezer and reheat directly from frozen in a hot pan.
