Ingredients

  • 2-3 large Sweet potato boiled & mashed
  • 2 medium Beetroot peeled & grated
  • 2 Green chili, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoon Ginger paste
  • ½ teaspoon Cumin powder

Instructions

  • Prep the Sweet Potato
    Boil the sweet potato until soft and mash it while it’s still warm, it mixes better this way.
  • Grate the Beetroot
    Grate the beetroot finely so it blends smoothly and doesn’t stay chunky inside the tikki.
    Grate the Beetroot
  • Bring Everything Together
    In a bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, grated beetroot, spices, ginger, chili, and salt.
    Bring Everything Together
  • Add the Binding
    Sprinkle in breadcrumbs a little at a time until the mixture feels firm enough to shape.
    Add the Binding
  • Shape the Patties
    Divide the mixture and form small, round tikkis, just thick enough to stay soft inside.
    Shape the Patties
  • Heat the Pan
    Warm a little oil in a skillet over medium heat until it starts to shimmer.
  • Cook Until Crisp
    Place the tikkis on the pan and cook each side for 3–4 minutes until the crust turns golden and crisp.
  • Rest Before Serving
    Set them on paper towels to remove excess oil and let them firm up slightly.
  • Serve the Tikkis Warm
    Plate them with a little green chutney or yogurt dip on the side, whatever in the mood for.
