Beetroot Tikki | Beetroot Cutlet: Recipe by Heena Jhanglani

This recipe for Beetroot Tikki (Beetroot Cutlet) is yet another easy to make gem from Mrs. Heena Jhanglani. She had earlier given me the recipe for Singhare ke Atte ka Halwa as a vrat ka khana recipe for Navratri 2015.  Well, truth be told I savour a lot of yummy dishes made by Heena-ji as her daughter and I work together. It is I who is remiss in now making all those dishes and featuring them on the blog.

On the blog is also the recipe for a Sindhi specialty called Aani Basar contributed by Nikita. Actually I could spend a quarter or two just on recipes from the Jhanglani kitchen. 🙂

Coming back to the Beetroot Tikki, Nikita got this for lunch along with a super yummy Pomegranate Chutney. Virtually everyone at work pestered her for the recipe till she asked her mom and sent it to us on WhatsApp. 😀

I have used the basic recipe given by Heena-ji but modified it a bit by substituting Chaat Masala for Garam Masala. I also served it with Dahiwali Pudina Chutney and enjoyed the contrast between the slightly sweet and tangy Beetroot Cutlet and the fresh, spicy chutney!

Notes

If your beetroot tikkis don't hold shape, mash one bread slice, add it to the dough, and mix well.

Stir-fry the beetroot on medium heat, otherwise it will lose the colour.
