KELE AUR ANJEER KI TIKKI

Preparation Method :

• Grind roughly chopped anjeer, dry red chili to a paste in a mixer with 2 tablespoon milk till smooth. Keep aside.
• Cut 1 banana into ½. Peel half banana and cut into paper thin diagonal slices. If slices look big cut each diagonal slice further into 2 diagonal pieces. Sprinkle red chili powder and salt. Mix well and keep aside.
• Pressure cook the remaining 1½ bananas along with the peel (chilka) with 2 cups water to give 2 whistles. Remove from fire.
• Peel boiled bananas. Grate the bananas (kelas) well. Add green chilies, finely chopped ginger, chopped coriander, salt, garam masala and dhania powder.
• Take a small ball of banana mixture. Give a slight depression in the centre of the ball. Place about ½  teaspoon anjeer filling in the centre & cover well to form a ball again.
• Flatten ball to form a tikki, such that the filling is completely covered on all sides with banana (kelas) mix. Flatten sides of the tikki also.
• Roll the tikkis over cornflour spread in a plate.
• Heat oil on a tawa or a frying pan. Shallow fry 2-3 tikkis at a time in 2 tablespoon oil in a non-stick pan till well browned and crisp on both sides. Repeat with all the tikkis. Remove tikkis from pan.
