For the betroot tikki recipe
- Cook the beetroot in a pan or pressure cooker and drain them. Peel them nicely and grate them from the thick side of a grater and keep aside.
- For the beetroot tikki mixture, take grated beetroot in a deep bowl.
- Add the grated carrot. The combination of beetroot and gajar works really well.
- Quickly soak a bread slice in water, press and remove all the water and crumble and add it to the bowl.
- Now, add the coriander. It provides a subtle earthy flavour to the tikki mixture.
- Add chaat masala. It adds a peppy flavour to the mixture. If you do not have chaat masala, then add fresh lemon juice.
- Add the chilli powder.
- Now add the dried mango powder. Even a hint of amchur gives tangy flavour to the mixture.
- Finally, add garam masala. You can increase or decrease the amount of spices according to your personal preference. Refer our Garam masala recipe with step by step images to make a fresh batch at home.
- Add cornflour. It binds together all the ingredients. Besan and rice flour can also be used.
- Add salt to taste. Combine all the ingredients in the bowl and mix well. If the mixture is too moist and not holding the shape then add a little more corn flour, rice flour or bread slice.
- Divide the mixture into 10 equal portions.
- Roll each portion into 25 mm. (1”) flat round tikki. You can roll them into any shape you like.
- Roll the tikkis in the cornflour till they are evenly coated from all the sides. Coating with corn flour gives a crispy texture on frying. Many people prefer semolina and breadcrumbs for coating, they work well too.
- Heat the oil in a deep kadhai and deep-fry the tikkis, a few at a time, till they turn golden brown in colour from all the sides.
- Drain on an absorbent paper. You can also shallow fry the tikkis instead of deep-frying.
- All our beetroot tikkis are fried and ready!!
- Serve immediately with green chutney or tomato ketchup.
- It is an ideal party starter or evening snack that can be relished with tongue-tickling dips too.
