Ingredients
Spices & Aromatics
- 1.5 tsp Salt adjust to taste
- 2 tsp Chili Powder red
- 1 tbsp Chili finely chopped, green
- 2 tbsp Coriander fresh, chopped (cilantro)
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tsp Garam Masala
- 1 tsp Mango Powder amchur powder, dry
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds roasted and ground
- 1 tbsp Onion finely chopped
Other Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Puffed Rice also known as murmura
- 2 tbsp Oil for frying, vegetable or canola oil recommended
Instructions
Prepare the Tikki Mixture
- Combine cooked rice, mashed sweet potato, salt, red chili powder, green chili, coriander, lemon juice, garam masala, dry mango powder, cumin seeds, and onion in a large bowl. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Form the Tikkis
- Add puffed rice to the mixture and gently mix. The mixture should be slightly firm but not dry. Form small patties (about 2 inches in diameter) from the mixture.
Fry the Tikkis
- Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Carefully place the Tikkis in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
Serve
- Remove the Tikkis from the pan and place them on a plate lined with absorbent paper to remove excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite chutney.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Tikkis
- For extra flavor, marinate the Tikki mixture for 30 minutes before frying.
- If the mixture is too sticky, add a little more puffed rice to absorb excess moisture.
- Adjust the amount of red chili powder to control the spice level according to your preference.
- Serve immediately for best results; the Tikkis are best enjoyed while hot and crispy.
