Leftover Roti to Tikki
My husband completely adores aloo tikkis. After tasting some at a colleague’s birthday party, he urged me to prepare some tikkis. I was pretty impressed and amused that he wanted to show off my cooking skills at his workplace. I tried to come up with my own variation of tikkis, and avoided use of aloo to make way for some healthier ingredients. Although not at all similar to aloo tikka in taste, it tasted good nevertheless and gave me a chance to showcase my risk-taking abilities. In this recipe, I have used left over rice (chawal) in powdered form. Instead of potato (aloo), I have included veggies like grated cauliflower (gobhi), cottage cheese (paneer) and finely chopped onions (pyaaz) in the tikka batter. Cabbage (bandh gobhi) and carrot (gajar) can also be used here. Cream (malai) is added to the batter to provide rich, smooth texture. Corn flour acts as the thickening and binding agent. These rolled patties (tikkis) are shallow fried in some amount of oil. The excess oil can be done away with by dabbing with kitchen tissues. The hot patties can be served with tomato ketchup or green chutney. Try this recipe if you feel the need to spice things up a bit in your daily schedule.
