For Air frying

  • Preheat Air fryer for 4 minutes at 360 F or 180 C.

  • Flip the tikkis once midway.
  • If you want a golden brown colour, then lightly brush with oil else you can make these oil free too.
  • Serve hot with dip of choice. Enjoy.

Notes

1. You can add herbs like parsley, basil or mint as per taste.
2. 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) or tofu in its place.
3. You can also add boiled spinach to the mix if you like.
4. Make sure you nicely spice these tikkis or they will taste bland.
5. You can also use powdered nuts like peanuts or almonds if you like.
6. In place of bread crumbs, you could use more oat flour. These are used for binding the tikkis.
7. Make sure that your beetroot and carrot are dry else your tikkis will be very moist and will not hold their shape well.
