step 5

step 6

What are tikkis?Tikkis are small round or oval-shaped snacks, usually around 2 or 3 inches in diameter. Normally, potatoes are mixed with other ingredients like herbs, spices, dals, sprouts and other veggies too. This dough-like mixture is then shaped and cooked. They can be deep-fried or shallow-fried. Nowadays, we also encounter healthy versions that are baked or tava-cooked. We also see health-conscious people going for ingredients like oats and nachni flour to bind their tikkis instead of mashed potatoes.

step 10

step 11

	
		
	
	
		
			Saut on a medium flame for 2 minutes or until the raw smell goes away.
	

step 12

	
		
	
	
		
			Add broccoli. Wash and clean broccoli florets & chop them finely before using in the Broccoli Cheese Tikki. You can even mince the broccoli florets in a food processor. If you are someone who doesnt like the flavour of raw broccoli much then blanch the florets and chop them before making the broccoli cheese tikki mixture.

			Divide the broccoli cheese mixture into 4 equal portions.
	

step 20

	
		
	
	
		
			Shape each portion into a 50 mm. (2) diameter round flat tikkis. If you are not able to form tikki, then add 1-2 tbsp of bread crumbs or gram flour.

			To cook cheese and broccoli tikki, heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and place the tikkis on it.
