  • 1/2 tsp roasted cumin powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried mint

Instructions

Guava Mint Chutney:

  1. Add all of the chutney ingredients and blend them to your desired consistency. Transfer this into a separate bowl and set aside.

Yogurt Dip:

  1. To make the yogurt dip, simply whisk everything together and set aside in a small bowl.

Tikki (Cutlet):

  1. In a large saucepan, melt 1 tbsp ghee on medium heat and then roast the cumin seeds for 30 seconds. Add in the green chilies and ginger and sauté for another minute.

  2. Then, add in the samo seeds (barnyard millet) and roast for 2-3 minutes until it becomes slightly aromatic. Add in the remaining ingredients and roast for a few more minutes.

  3. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let cool for 15 minutes. Then, shape them into your desired shape.
  4. Heat some ghee on low to medium heat in a pan and then add in your cutlets, cooking them for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. You might have to cook them in smaller batches to make sure they don’t stick.
  5. Serve with your chutney, dip, and some lemon wedges.

Recipe Notes

  • These cutlets can be stored uncooked for 2-3 days in the fridge. Just shallow fry them when you’re ready to eat.
  • To make the chutney last longer, you can transfer it into an ice cube tray and let it set in the freezer. When you need some chutney, simply take a few cubes out of the freezer and microwave them until defrosted.
  • Make sure to blend the chutney with ice cold water to preserve the bright green color.
  • The cutlets are best when shallow fried in ghee as opposed to oil.
  • Make sure not to make the samo seeds into a fine powder, they should be the texture of fine semolina. Just give them two pulses in a blender to make sure that they still give a nice crunch.
