Tikki is mostly a shallow-fried snack prepared with one or combination of veggies. I mostly prefer the aloo or potato tikki. With bottle gourd on hand,I tried this tikki this time. Bottle gourd is a bland veggie and tastes like cucumber. This nutritious veggie blends well in any kind of preparation.
INGREDIENTS :
BOTTLE GOURD GRATINGS- 1 1/2 CUPS
GRAM FLOUR- 3 TBSP
RICE FLOUR- 1 1/2 TBSP
GARAM MASALA POWDER- 1 TSP
CHILLI POWDER- 1/2 TSP
AAMCHUR POWDER- 1/2 TSP
SALT TO TASTE
GROUNDNUTS ( coarsely pounded)- 1 TBSP
PROCEDURE :
1. Wash,wipe and peel bottle gourd and take out the seed portion. Squeeze the water completely from the gratings.
2. In a wide vessel, transfer the gratings along with gram flour,rice flour and all above cited ingredients.
3.Roast groundnuts and grind to a coarse powder in a mixer jar.
4. Combine all the ingredients to a dough consistency. If the dough is loose,then you sprinkle flour and make it firm.
5. Pinch out the dough and divide it into equal size balls. Flatten the same on your palm and arrange it on a plate.
6. Pour some oil on the griddle and heat it. Place the patties gently on the hot griddle and keep the flame in medium.
7. Drizzle oil on the surface and sides of the patties and flip it to other side. Fry till golden brown in colour.
