Ingredients
For the Tikki Filling
For the Tikki Dough
- 250 g gm Potato boiled and mashed
For Serving
- 1 cup cup Yogurt
- 1/4 cup cup Chutney such as mango chutney, sweet
- Chaat Masala to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until fragrant.
- Add the boiled green peas, soaked soya chunks, and salt to the pan. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is dry and the soya chunks are lightly browned.
- Stir in the chopped cilantro, green chilies, and lemon juice. Mix well and remove from heat. This is your tikki filling. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Take a portion of the mashed potatoes and flatten it into a small disc in your palm. Place a spoonful of the prepared tikki filling in the center.
- Gently fold the potato mixture over the filling, sealing it completely to form a round or oval tikki. Repeat with the remaining potato and filling.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or skillet over medium heat. Place the tikkis on the griddle and shallow fry for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- To serve, sprinkle the tikkis with chaat masala. For an extra layer of flavor, top with a dollop of yogurt, a drizzle of sweet chutney, and an additional sprinkle of chaat masala.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- This recipe offers two serving options: plain with chaat masala or with curd, sweet chutney, and chaat masala.
Expert Tips
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a finely chopped green chili to the tikki mixture.
- To ensure even cooking, shape the tikkis into uniform patties, about ½-inch thick.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the tikkis. Work in batches to allow for proper browning and crisping.
Storage Instructions
- Leftover tikkis can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven until warmed through and crispy.
