Beetroot Tikki Ingredients
Beetroots – are the star of the show in this beetroot cutlet recipe. Boil, peel, and grate them. Beetroots not only bring out the bright red color of the cutlet but are also very nutritious.
Potatoes – act as a binding agent that helps the tikkis to hold shape. They are boiled, mashed, and then added to the tikki mixture.
Semolina (Rava) – adds a crispy outer layer to the cutlet when they are cooked.
A Blend of Spices – You will need cumin powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, dry mango powder (amchur powder), and chaat masala. Adjust the spices according to your liking.
Veggies – including capsicum, bell peppers, carrots, and onions. You can use any veggies you have handy at home. Finely chop the veggies before adding them to the mixture so that they are cooked properly.
