- However, I prefer boiling them as it’s really quicker as compared to roasting.
- You can use regular salt if you are not making this tikkis for Vrat or Fasting.
- I prefer pan-frying, you can also deep fry this sweet potato tikkis.
- Serve this tikkis hot with Vrat chutney, if you are making it for Vrat, else you can also serve with any dip or tomato ketchup.
- You can add more spices like dhania powder, red chili powder, garam masala if you are not making this tikkis for Vrat.
- I have not used any flour to bind the tikkis, however, you can use Rajgira flour or Samo flour that can be consumed during fasting.
