Frequently Asked Questions

 

    1. Q. What are Tikkis? Tikkis are small round or oval-shaped snacks, usually around 2 or 3 inches in diameter. Normally, potatoes are mixed with other ingredients like herbs, spices, dals, sprouts and other veggies too. This dough-like mixture is then shaped and cooked. They can be deep-fried or shallow-fried. Nowadays, we also encounter healthy versions that are baked or tava-cooked. We also see health-conscious people going for ingredients like oats and nachni flour to bind their tikkis instead of mashed potatoes.
    2. Q. Can i replace oats wtih cornflour in  broccoli and paneer tikki? Yes you can try using cornflour. But remember that oats is far healthier to use.

Having heard and read so much about the benefits of Brocolli, it was a must buy ingredient in the veg shopping list...and used to wilt & spoil due to ignorance till I made these easy wheezy very tasty tikkis! Now my comfort level with using brocolli has gone high and I am using it fresh for a healthy zest..Thanks

Tried and succeeded in the 1st attempt. I''m not someone who cooks regularly but it was easy to make and delicious to eat. Besides it is healthy so please don''t try substituting the oats with corn flour or maida. The roasted oats give a completely new dimension to this recipe. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED EVEN FOR BEGINNINERS! Thank you Tarla Dalalji for your simple yet scrumptious recipes :)
