Equipment

  • bowl
  • Food processor
  • Air fryer

Ingredients

  • 4 cups roasted makhana
  • ¾ cup roasted peanuts increase
  • 1 cup sabudana soaked and drained
  • 2 cups grated potato
  • 1 tablespoon sendha namak or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon dried mint
  • 1 tablespoon amchur powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper optional
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons oil or ghee for brushing

Instructions

  • Add roasted makhana and roasted peanuts to a food processor, pulse to make a coarse mixture.
  • Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add soaked sabudana and grated potato.
  • Add sendha namak, dried mint, amchur powder, and black pepper if using.
  • Mix well until the mixture starts coming together. Press some mixture in your hand to check. If it feels too loose, rest it for a few minutes.
  • Shape into medium tikkis or patties, then chill or freeze for 20 to 30 minutes so they firm up.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 180°C for 5 minutes.
  • Brush the tikkis lightly with oil or ghee, arrange them in a single layer.
  • Air fry at 180°C for 14 to 15 minutes, flipping once in between, until lightly golden and crisp on the outside.
  • Serve hot with vrat chutney or plain yogurt.
