Cooking Tips

• Make sure to soak the kidney beans overnight to ensure they cook properly.
• You can add breadcrumbs or cornflour to the mixture if it is too soft to shape into tikkis.
• For a healthier option, you can also bake the tikkis in the oven instead of frying them.

Storage and Serving

• Rajma tikkis can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, you can either microwave them or shallow fry them again until heated through.
• Serve the tikkis as an appetizer or snack with mint chutney, ketchup, or yogurt dip.
