NOTES:

 

• I have used frozen corn and green peas, so added directly. if you are using the dried corn  or peas, cook them till soft and then add
• If the  tikki dough is so dry, youcan sprinkle few easpoon of water and knead.
• besan(chickpea flour) is used for binding, instead roasted gram flour pottukadalai flour or rice flour, or bread crumbs  can also be used.
• if you like you can deep fry the patis.
• also can coat the patties with sooji/khus khus/ bread crumbs to make it more attractive and for crispy outer layer.
• This patti can be served just with green chutney /ketchup or can also be used to make burger ot bread sandwiches or even for chats..
• if you like you can even add finely chopped green chillis too.
• Instead of shallow frying you can even tawa cook the tikkis with less oil.
