Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Rajma Tikki Mixture
In a bowl, combine the boiled rajma with garam masala, haldi, red chilli powder, roasted jeera powder, salt, and chaat masala. Mix well to combine all the spices.
Step 2: Mash the Rajma
Using a potato masher, mash the rajma mixture until it forms a coarse paste. Ensure some whole rajma pieces remain for texture.
Step 3: Add Binder and Form Dough
Add chopped coriander leaves and rice flour to the mashed rajma. Mix and bind everything together with your hands to form a firm dough-like consistency.
Step 4: Shape the Tikkis
Take small portions of the rajma mixture and shape them into oval or round tikkis (patties). The video shows making 5 tikkis.
Step 5: Pan-Fry the Tikkis
Heat a pan and drizzle some oil. Place the tikkis on the hot pan and pan-fry them until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides, about per side.
Step 6: Prepare the Paneer Base
Drizzle more oil on the pan. Grate paneer directly onto the hot pan and use a spatula to press and shape it into a rectangular or square base for the wrap.
Step 7: Assemble the Wrap
Spread green chutney evenly over the paneer base. Place two pan-fried rajma tikkis on top of the chutney. Layer with sliced cucumber, sliced tomatoes, shredded cabbage, and sliced capsicum. Sprinkle with roasted jeera powder.
Step 8: Fold and Serve
Carefully fold one side of the paneer base over the filling to create a wrap. Cook for another minute until the paneer is slightly browned. Transfer to a plate and serve hot.
