Happy Cooking.
Boil macaroni with a pinch of salt and oil. Boil till it gets cooked but firm to the bite i.e al dente. Strain the water and keep the macaroni aside.
Take a big mixing bowl and mash Macaroni using your hands or you can use a mixer blender or those veggie choppers.
Add boiled mashed potato and green chillies. Keep the quantity of potato less than macaroni as we want to have less taste of potato.
Now add chopped capsicum and American sweet corn. If you want you can mash the sweet corn and then add it. I have used the corn kernels. It’s better to mash, otherwise they start falling from the tikkis/cutlets.
Add mixed herbs, you can add oregano, red chilli flakes or any herb of your choice.
Add salt, red chilli powder, chaat masala and amchur powder. You can add all these according to your taste.
Finally add the bread crumbs.
Mix everything well and make round tikkis of it. Coat the tikki/cutlets with bread crumbs.
Heat oil in a non stick tava and shallow fry these tikkis for about 8-10 minutes on low heat.
Cook them from both the sides till you see a beautiful golden brown colour.
Serve them with tomato ketchup or any chutney of your choice.
