How to make Beetroot and Sesame Tikki?
1) In a non-stick frypan, melt some ghee and saute some cumin seeds, chopped ginger and green chillies. Add grated beetroots and a boiled mashed potato to the pan.
2) Mix them all together till a cohesive mass is formed. Add some refined flour and season with some salt, red chilli powder, cumin powder and garam masala to this and mix it all together.
3) In a separate bowl, add grated mozzarella cheese, chopped onions and peri peri spice, mix them together and set aside.
4) Take a portion of the beetroot mix, flatten it out using your hands, stuff it with the cheese and onion filling and carefully seal the top to form a tikki.
5) Press the folded tikkis into some sesame seeds. Heat a non-stick tawa and drizzle some oil over it. Grill the tikkis on both sides for 3-4 minutes so that the sesame seeds turn golden brown and the cheese is melted.
6) Serve them hot on a platter with your favourite chutney.
Expert Tips
- Make sure to properly saute and cook the cumin seeds, chilli and ginger before adding the grated beetroot.
- The cornflour is necessary for binding, do not skip it.
- Make sure to seal the tiki properly or the cheese would leak out.
