Ingredients

  • 250 grams beetroot or 2 medium-sized beets

  • ½ teaspoon kashmiri red chili powder or cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fennel powder
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder

  • 1 teaspoon chaat masala
  • 1 teaspoon dry mango powder or 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 green chili – finely chopped

Instructions

  • In a pan or pressure cooker, boil beetroot and potatoes with salt and enough water for 7-8 whistles on medium flame.
  • Drain the water, then peel and grate both the beetroot and potato into a bowl for an even, smooth mixture.
  • Add spices, green chili, salt, and corn starch (or rice flour/soaked bread slices) to the grated mix.
  • Mix everything well using your hands and shape the mixture into round patties or tikkis.
  • Spread roasted semolina (rava) on a plate, then coat each tikki evenly with the semolina, dusting off any excess.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan and fry the tikkis until they are crisp and golden on both sides.
  • Place the fried tikkis on kitchen paper towels to absorb excess oil and serve hot with your favorite chutney, dip, or sauce.
