Aloo Palak Tikki
Spinach needs no introduction to the health club. It is loaded with nutrients. I try to incorporate it in my recipes. Either in the form of rotis, soups, raita or cutlets.
This particular recipe is for those who are pressed for time. You can always make the mix and keep refrigerated. When you need to make the tikkis simple add freshly chopped spinach and salt.
It is shallow-fried. So, no oily mess in the kitchen.
You can increase the veggies as per your choice, it is completely optional. You can add cheese if you want it a little creamy. You can play with this recipe as you fancy. So we are cool.
Let’s take a look.

Handy tips :

- If the mixture turns too wet, you can add breadcrumbs.
