Beetroot Tikki | How to make Beetroot Tikki | Healthy evening snacks recipe - Naughty Little BEES Kitchen

Beetroot tikki is the perfect tea time snacks or you can give to the kids in the evening once they come from the school. This fiber rich content will satisfy the hunger of the little stomach healthily. Beetroot tikki goes well with green chutney(Chutney made with coriander leaves, mint leaves, ginger, green chili & salt with little tamarind) or it can be taken as it is or ketchup, choice is yours. Adding little bread crumbs make the dish crispy outside & soft inside. Bread crumbs can be replaced by semolina(suji). I used cooked & mashed potatoes with this recipe, cooked green peas ,grated carrot, grated paneer can also be added with this to enhance the flavor.
