Vegetable tikki is  a tasty tea-time snack  which can be made quickly at home with the ingredients easily available at home. Tikki is also called as cutlet which is either deep fried, shallow fried or baked. It makes up for a great snack for kids as well as elders.   You can also deep fry the cutlets instead of shallow frying, but shallow frying absorbs less oil. Veg cutlet is best served with green chutney, tomato ketchup or green mint chutney.

Boil one small potato. Once cooled down, peel the skin and mash the potato.  Keep it aside. METHOD Take a vessel or a bowl.  Add grated carrot, boiled and mashed potato, green chillies, chopped coriander leaves, chat masala and garam masala.  Mix everything well by hand.  Lastly add salt and corn flour. Mix again well. Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape into a cutlet. Heat little oil in a pan on a medium flame for shallow frying.  Grease the oil in the pan evenly.  Shallow fry the cutlets on both the sides till they turn golden brown in colour. Once done, remove them in an absorbent paper to remove the excess oil. Serve the veg tikki  hot or warm with green chutney or tomato ketchup. NOTES/TIPS You can also add bread crumbs or maida instead of corn flour for binding the mixture. After adding salt, prepare the tikkis immediately or else the mixture tends to become watery. You can add veggies like green peas, carrot and french beans too for making this tikki.  Boil the veggies till done and drain the excess moisture if any and add the spices.     Related RecipesPalak pakora recipe – How to make palak pakora/pakoda recipe – spinach fritters recipeMasala idli recipe – How to make masala idli recipe – breakfast recipesChapathi upma or phodnichi poli recipe – how to make chapati or roti upma recipe – snacks/breakfast recipesNoodles patties recipe – kids snacks recipe- noodles recipesPoha cutlet recipe or avalakki/aval cutlet recipe – easy snacks recipePaneer tikka recipe – How to make paneer tikka dry recipe – paneer tikka on tawaWhole urad dal or black gram sundal recipe – How to make ulundu sundal recipe – sundal recipesCorn pakoda recipe – how to make sweet corn pakoras/pakodas recipes – Indian snacks recipesRagi rotti or ragi roti – how to make fingermillet roti/ragi rotti recipe – Indian recipesPaneer 65 recipe (spicy paneer starter) – Indian snack recipes
