Do you like aloo tikki or potato patties? I love them. Beetroot cutlet or tikki could be a nice replacement for aloo tikkis and look absolutely delightful due to their pretty pink colour. My husband who is not too fond of beetroot, relishes these. And the good part is that you can make your tikki chaat or burger using this patty. It is perfect for evening snack as well. Adding soya granules helps in making it high in vegetarian protein as well.
Here is my recipe of beetroot cutlet:
Here is how to make healthy Indian beetroot cutlet:

I have started loving Beets only recently, God knows why I didn't like them before. So, Beet tikkis, thorans and Pachadis are my favorite when this veggie is in season. I will try your version of the recipe too 🙂

They look good. The semolina is for added texture?
