Beetroot tikki/cutlet/chop is a healthy, easy and delicious recipe prepared using beetroot, potato, rice flour and few other ingredients.

Beetroot is rich in iron content and helps boost haemoglobin in the body. Due to its nutritional value, this recipe is very healthy and a good way of serving beetroot to kids. While buying weekly veggies I always make sure to add beetroot or chukandar in my cart. I don’t prefer to eat raw chunks of beetroot in the salads always, so I try different interesting ways of eating and serving it to my family.

Beetroot cutlet is one innovative way of adding beet in the diet that too happily 😊. I serve it as a teatime snack or as a side dish in tiffin/lunchbox. Everyone be it kids or adults loves it and the minimal use of spices and oil makes it healthy and kids friendly too.

How to prepare –

To make beetroot tikki/cutlet grate or finely chop beetroot. I use my electrical or manual vegetable chopper for the ease of work. Boil and mash potato. Make sure the potatoes and not over boiled. To make firm cutlets, it is a good idea to refrigerate potatoes for some time after boiling.

For breadcrumbs, grind the sides of breads in a mixer jar. I always preserve the sides of the bread (that we cut while making sandwiches or any other recipe) in an air-tight container in the refrigerator and grind together whenever required.

Keep rice flour, spices and other ingredients ready.

Things to keep in mind while making Beetroot Chop –

1. Make sure the tikki dough is stiff enough else the tikki will break while frying.
2. Shallow fry on a medium-low flame till crisp and then turnover. Do not flip multiple times.
3. Apply water on palms before making tikkis, it will help in shaping them without sticking to hand.
4. To ease frying, refrigerate tikkis for half an hour before frying.

 

Baking Procedure (Alternative to shallow fry)–

If you like to bake the beetroot tikki, pre-heat oven while making tikki dough. Grease baking tray with oil. Place beetroot tikki in a baking tray and brush them with olive oil.

Bake at 180 °C for 20 mins or till done.

Notes

• Refrigerate boiled potatoes for some time (10 – 30 mins) before using. This will give a nice firmness to the tikki.
• Adjust spices as per taste.
• Adding lime juice or any Vitamin C helps to consume the iron content of the beetroot.
• Instead of shallow fry you can also air fry or bake the tikkis.
• You can prepare and refrigerate the tikkis beforehand, cook just before serving.
• Coating in breadcrumbs will add a nice crisp layer to the tikkis.
• Serve immediately or tikkis/cutlets might get soggy.
• Tastes delicious with chilled curd.
