Beetroot Tikki – Beetroot Patties Recipe:

Recipe Type: Side
Cuisine: Indian
Author: Cherie
Prep time: 20 mins
Cook time: 15 mins
Total time: 35 mins
Serves: 10-12

Ingredients:

For the Tikki mixture:

• Grated beetroot – 1 cup
• Mashed potatoes – ½ cup
• Chopped Green chillies – 4
• Finely chopped onion- 1
• Finely chopped coriander – 2 tbsp
• Dry mango powder – 1 tsp
• Roasted cumin powder – 1 tsp
• Ginger garlic paste – 1 tsp
• Salt – as per taste
• Corn starch – 2 tbsp
• Panko powder (flaxseed meal) – 2 tbsp

Other needed ingredients:

• Oil/ butter for frying
• Roasted sesame seeds – for coating (approx 2 tbsp)

Instructions:

• Grate the beetroot. Add a little salt and mix well. Set aside for 5 – 10 mins.
• Squeeze the water from beetroot and transfer the grated beetroot into a mixing bowl.
• Add all the ingredients one by one and mix well. Keep it aside covered for 5 minutes.
• Make small patties by taking a ball of the mixture on to your palm and pressing it to make a patty.
• Roll the outer edges of the patty on a flat surface to make sure the edges aren’t flat.
• Cover the patty with the sesame seeds by placing the patty in a bowl of sesame seeds.
• These patties can be deep-fried in oil or on a griddle using very little ghee or butter.
• I fried them on a griddle by brushing little butter on both sides of the patty.
• Serve them hot with tomato ketchup or chilli sauce.

Notes:

* You can make the patties and store them in a zip-lock bag in the freezer and fry them whenever needed.

** The water squeezed from the grated beetroot can be used to mix the dough for beetroot rotis by adding some more grated beetroot. Check my beetroot roti recipe here.

*** You can use some flaxseed meal in the patty mixture instead of the panko.

**** You may roll the patties in panko and fry instead of sesame seeds. I wanted to use sesame seeds for enhanced visual appeal and taste.
