Chickpea Patties Recipe with step by step photos and method. Chickpea Patties is also known as Chole Masala Tikki in Hindi Language.
Have you ever think of Chole Masala Tikki instead of typical Chole Masala Curry Recipe??? When someone in your family is always demanding for something new as dinner you often make Chole Masala Curry. Hence, you will definitely ruin their craving.
Think: Patties can be made from Chole Masala Recipe just by adding
- mashed potatoes
- and freshness in term of coriander
- just need to shallow fry it
and you will get crispy outside, soft inside patty with minty yogurt or just with tomato ketchup… Don’t forget about some crunchy salad with it!
Isn’t it that as simple as making ordinary dinner menu in your kitchen? Just give little more effort to make patties and you will definitely nailed your demand of “something new in dinner.” Doesn’t it seems to be an easy chickpea patties recipe?
I think this is one of the best veggie patties recipe. You can cook this recipe with leftover mashed potatoes. In case you want to have a look at more leftover mashed potatoes recipes, I have created many of them like,
- Spicy Mashed Potato Donuts
- 2 in 1 Vegetable & Mashed Potato Grilled Sandwich
- Mashed Potato Dumpling in Lentil Curry
My Chickpea Patties recipe was created accidentally. I soaked the chickpea one day and my plan was making chickpea curry with traditional chole masala powder. But it was not my lucky day!
My hubby came from his work and demanding something new in dinner. I showed him that i already cooked chickpea curry and he didn’t have any options now. He said “no, try something new instead of typical chickpea curry!”
When he is in kitchen, I am more confident about trying something new. He is my lucky charm!!! I said let’s try patties from this. And I boiled the potatoes, mix with curry and bind the patties with some corn flour. And shallow fried the patties. He tasted and as usual he loved it.
Then I made some fresh salad and we had “something new” kind of dinner… 🙂
So, I must say that, if you have leftover chickpea curry, then this will also work… you can make wraps with this patties a very next day into lunch also. Kids will also love these chickpea patties into their lunch-box.
