How to Make Bhee ji Tikki | Bhee ji Tikki Recipe:

Like most dishes this bhee ji tikki also has variations, some prefer to stuff the lotus stem with aloo but today we are giving you a much simpler and easier way of making these tikkis, by boiling and mashing everything together.

First, Boil the lotus stem and Aloo separately until both are soft and mushy. Take this out mash it together and keep it aside.

In another bowl prepare the batter to dip the tikkis in, add besan, salt, haldi, jeera or dhaniya powder (Optional), some water and prepare a semi liquidy batter. It should be thick enough to coat but not too thick.

Now add your chopped onions, chillies, coriander, some cumin seeds and salt into the aloo bhee mash and mix everything together. Make tiny flat balls out of this and dip in the batter. Fry these until golden brown on both sides, take off the heat and serve warm with a side of delicious sindhi green chutney or ketchup.
