Tips & Secrets
- Using cornflour is the absolute secret to achieving that signature professional-grade heavy crunch on the outside.
- Allowing the boiled potatoes to cool completely before processing prevents the tikki from becoming sticky and oily.
- Shallow-frying on a heavy-bottomed pan ensures even heat distribution for a professional uniform golden color.
- Grating the potatoes instead of mashing is mandatory for a smooth and sophisticated textural experience.
