Beetroot Cutlet or Beet Tikki is a delicious, healthy snack prepared with beetroot, potatoes and some spices. Since Beetroot is a main ingredient, it gives great color to these cutlets. Recipe is quite simple and does not involve many ingredients.
These cutlets are soft and tender from inside because of the soft filling of beetroot and potatoes. At the same time, these are crispy from outside as they are coated with semolina and pan fried. You might also add onions, carrots etc. if you like. I use all purpose flour in the recipe but you can add corn flour or roasted gram flour instead.
