Introduction: Rice Tikki (Vegetable Rice Cutlets)

By Visit My Site!

The word "tikki" means small cutlet or croquette in Hindi, Marathi, and Tamil. They can be made with potatoes, also called aloo tikki or as I am showing here with rice.

It is served hot and warm along with sauces, and sometimes yogurt or chick peas.

This vegetable dish is crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and overall very tasty.
