- Pre-heat oven to 425 F degrees. Rinse the beets and pat dry them (2 large beets or 2 medium & 1 small). Wrap them in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet.
- Roast the beets at 425 F degrees for 30 to 45 minutes. The time taken to roast the beets will depend on their size. When done, you should be able to insert a knife easily throughout the beetroot. The small ones take around 30 minutes while the bigger
- Once done, remove from aluminum foil and let them cool. Then peel the skin using a peeler. Also boil a large potato meanwhile either using a stove-top pressure cooker or Instant pot. Once boiled, peel the skin and mash it.
- Now, using a grater, grate the beets (I use the thicker side of the grater). Add it a large bowl along with the boiled mashed potato.
- Using a food processor, pulse 1 cup of old fashioned rolled oats a few times. You don't want it to turn into a powder so just pulse few times, until it breaks down a little. We want some texture here. Transfer it to the bowl along with grated beets and pot
- Add chopped green chili, chopped ginger, cilantro and green onion. Add the spices- coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala and amchur. Also add the salt.
- Mix everything together, add in the panko bread crumbs. Mix again until everything is combined. The dough is now done.
- Take a lemon size portion from the dough and roll between your palms to make a round. Then flatten it to make a tikki. Make all tikkis similarly. I was able to get 11 tikkis out of this mixture, each weighing around 75 grams.
- Heat 3 to 4 tablespoons of oil in a pan (I used my cast iron skillet) on medium heat. Once the oil is hot, place the tikkis into the pan. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on one side until browned, then flip and cook the other side for 3 to 4 minutes until browned.
