Shallow Fry the Tikkis (20 minutes)
Serve
Create a small cavity in the center of each patty and fill it with a mixture of crumbled paneer, chopped cashews, and raisins before sealing and frying.
For a lower-oil version, preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Brush the tikkis lightly with oil and air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
Replace breadcrumbs with an equal amount of powdered poha (flattened rice) or ground oats to make the recipe gluten-free.
Add 1/4 teaspoon of red chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon of chaat masala to the mixture for an extra kick of flavor.
Green peas are an excellent source of plant-based protein, which is essential for muscle repair, immune function, and overall body maintenance.
Both peas and potatoes contribute dietary fiber, which aids in digestion, promotes a feeling of fullness, and helps maintain stable blood sugar levels.
This dish contains various vitamins from its ingredients, including Vitamin K and Vitamin C from peas and coriander, which support bone health and immunity.
The carbohydrates from potatoes provide a quick and sustained source of energy, making this a great snack to combat midday slumps.
One serving of Matar Tikki (3 pieces) contains approximately 185-200 calories, depending on the amount of oil absorbed during frying.
Matar Tikki can be a relatively healthy snack. It's rich in protein and fiber from peas. To make it healthier, you can pan-fry with minimal oil, bake, or use an air fryer instead of shallow frying.
The most common reason is excess moisture in the potato and pea mixture. Ensure they are boiled and drained well, and cooled completely. Using a good binding agent like breadcrumbs or corn starch is also crucial. Chilling the shaped tikkis before frying also helps them hold their shape.
Yes, absolutely. To make them gluten-free, substitute the breadcrumbs with powdered poha (flattened rice), roasted besan (gram flour), or certified gluten-free breadcrumbs.
Yes. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the tikkis on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush them with a little oil, and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden and crisp.
Store leftover cooked tikkis in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a pan, oven, or air fryer to regain their crispiness. Avoid using a microwave as it can make them soggy.
