Top 10 Punjabi Tikki Recipes

Tikki is one of the most popular Indian snacks. More than calling it a snack, it is a category of snacks by its own right, because there are so many varieties of tikkis that one can make, right from the simple aloo based ones to rich dry fruit stuffed ones!

Every Indian party will have at least one type of tikki on the starter spread. From roadside vendors to star hotels, everybody has tikki on the menu. Whether it is a hot, buttery tikki enjoyed on the roadside with Green Chutney and ketchup, or a platter of exotic tikkis served on a special occasion, the tikki never fails to please!

The best part is that you don’t need an occasion to enjoy a tikki. You can make tikkis for tea-time, for a kitty party or for a kiddies’ party because it is easy to make and tastes simply fab when served with chutney or a dip. You can even use tikkis innovatively. Add them to a sizzler, or use them as patties for burgers. Cut a tikki and add it to a pulao or salad instead of bread croutons. The spicy succulence of the tikki adds a dimension of fun to any dish.
