Chhole Tikki /Chickpea Patties are made from chickpea, potato, breadcrumbs. It is flavored with spices and shallow fried in a pan. It is crisp from outside and soft from inside. The tikki/patty can be served to your guests as an appetizer with mint yogurt dip, mint chutney, ketchup. It can be used in making Indian chaats such as tikki chat, ragda pattice. You can sandwich it between bread and salad.
The tikki/patty can be frozen for up to two months. This way you have them handy whenever you have a sudden guest for dinner. The patty can be used for making burgers. I will be sharing with you the process of making a burger with chickpea patty in my next recipe.
You can also simply eat this patty with a dish of salad for a healthy lunch. It is very healthy for kids and they will love it!
