It is packed with an exciting green peas stuffing and deep-fried till crisp. Since rava itself is known to impart an exciting crispness, you don’t even need a coating of bread crumbs for these tikkis.
This incomparably tasty Rava Green Peas Tikki is sure to become a whopping success at the dining table!
