    Beetroot cutlet or tikkis are a healthy and delicious snack. Shallow frying or air frying them uses less oil and make them even healthier.

    I also love making aloo tikki or potato patties.

    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 (optional) helps in making it high in vegetarian protein as well.

    Here is how to make healthy Indian beetroot cutlet:

    Step-by-step Pictures

    Grate boiled beetroot and carrot and keep aside.

    Squeeze them well to remove any water.

    Boil soy granules (if using) in hot water for about 10 minutes or till they are soft.

    Squeeze out the water and keep aside.

    In a kadhai or pan, mix together grated beetroot and carrot with cilantro leaves, ginger garlic and minced chillies.

    Grated beetroot, carrot, cilantro leaves, minced ginger garlic and chillies mixed together in a pan.

    Now add mashed or grated potatoes, powdered oats along with garam masala and coriander powder. Mix well.

    Add mashed potatoes with spices to this mix.

    Add squeezed soy granules.

    Mix everything well.

    Add boiled and squeezed soy granules

    If you don't have soya granules, use soya chunks.

    Boil them in water, squeeze well and blend and use.

    You can omit soy granules if you don't like them and use mashed paneer or cottage cheese instead.

    Add bread crumbs with salt and chaat masala. If the mixture is still wet add more breadcrumbs.

    Add bread crumbs with spices and mix together.

    Make round patties with your hands.

    Form round patties ready to shallow fry or deep fry.

    For Air frying

    Preheat Air fryer for 4 minutes at 390 F or 200 C.

    Put in the tikkis on a parchment paper or on the basket and air fry for about 8-10 minutes.

    Flip the tikkis midway during air frying.

    If you want a golden brown colour, then lightly brush with oil else you can make these oil free too.

    For shallow frying

    Take 2-3 tbsp. of oil in a non-stick pan or skillet.

    Now shallow fry the patties on each side till they get a nice golden coating.

    Equipment

    • Air fryer

    Ingredients
     

    • 2 potatoes boiled and grated
    • 1 cup beetroot boiled and grated
    • ½ cup carrot boiled and grated
    • 1 tsp. green chilli minced
    • 2 tbsp. ginger garlic finely minced
    • 1 tsp. chaat masala
    • 1 teaspoon garam masala powder
    • ½ cup oats powdered
    • 1 tsp. coriander powder
    • 4 tbsp. bread crumbs optional
    • 2 tbsp. oil optional
    • ½ cup soy granules or chunks or use mashed paneer (cottage cheese)
    • Salt to taste

    Instructions
     

    • Grate boiled beetroot and carrot and keep aside. Squeeze them well to remove any water. Peel and grate potatoes and keep aside. Boil soy granules in hot water for about 10 minutes or till they are soft. Squeeze out the water and keep aside.
    • In a kadhai or pan, mix together grated beetroot and carrot with cilantro leaves, ginger garlic and minced chillies.
    • Now add mashed or grated potatoes, powdered oats along with garam masala and coriander powder. Mix well. Add squeezed soy granules and mix.
    • Add breadcrumbs, salt and chaat masala. Mix well and form patties

    For shallow frying

    • Now shallow fry the patties on each side till they get a nice golden coating.

    For Air frying

    • Preheat Air fryer for 4 minutes at 390 F or 200 C. Put in the tikkis on a parchment paper or on the basket and air fryer for about 8-10 minutes. Turn the tikkis once in the middle. If you want a golden brown colour, then lightly brush with oil else you can make these oil free too.

    Notes

    You can add herbs like parsley, basil or mint as per taste.
    If you can't find soya granules, you can use soya chunks that you easily find in Indian stores. Boil them in hot water, squeeze them and then blend them and use.
    You can also skip soy granules and use mashed paneer (cottage cheese) in its place.
    You can also add boiled spinach to the mix if you like.
    Make sure you nicely spice these tikkis or they will taste bland.
    You can also use powdered nuts like peanuts or almonds if you like.
    In place of bread crumbs, you could use rice flour or semolina. These are used for binding the tikkis.
    Make sure that your beetroot and carrot are dry else your tikkis will be very moist and will not hold their shape well.
    This is a delicious and healthy snack that is perfect for lunchbox too.

      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?

      This sounds simple. I will give this a try, Rachna. The good thing is beetroot. It will be healthier than a full aaloo tikki 🙂
