A dish that fails me every time are tikkis. Yeah I admit it. A basic thing like Tikki, I don’t seem to get it right.
Then I went for a potluck and had this really interesting Tikki. I thought it was harra bharra and took a bite sceptically as I am not too fond of peas. I just loved it and immediately caught hold of this amazing baker and chef – Sangheita for the recipe.
This one is way different from the Harra Bharra kebab and the mix of palak, corn, potato and cheese makes this super Yumm.
Ingredients
1 cup raw sweet corn
1 bunch raw palak
3 green chillies
8 garlic cloves
5-6 boiled potatoes (2 cups)
1 tbsp butter + oil
1/2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp sugar
salt
1 lime
2 bread slices
