Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Potato Base
Take a big size boiled potato and mash it well in a bowl until it forms a smooth paste.
Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients
Add 1 cup of bread crumbs and 1/2 cup of semolina (rava/sooji) to the mashed potato. Add a little water and mix well to form a thick batter.
Step 3: Add Vegetables
To the batter, add 1 medium-sized chopped tomato, 1/3 cup of grated carrot, 1 small-sized chopped onion, and 1 cup of chopped spinach. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Step 4: Season the Batter
Add 1/2 tsp of red chili powder, 1/4 tsp of cinnamon powder, 1/2 tsp of chili flakes, 1/2 tsp of cumin powder, 1/2 tsp of coriander powder, 1/4 tsp of mustard seeds, and 1 tsp of salt to the mixture. Mix all the spices evenly into the batter until everything is well incorporated.
Step 5: Form and Fry Tikkis
Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium-low flame. Take about 2 big tablespoons of the batter, place it in the hot oil, and flatten it into a tikki (patty) shape. Repeat for additional tikkis, ensuring they are not overcrowded in the pan.
Step 6: Cook Until Golden Brown
Shallow fry the tikkis on medium-low flame until they turn light golden brown on one side. Flip them over and cook the other side until it also becomes golden brown and crispy. Ensure both sides are evenly cooked.
Step 7: Serve
Once cooked, remove the tikkis from the pan and serve them hot with yogurt (dehi) or your preferred dipping sauce.
