2. Grease your hand with oil, take approx. 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape them into round tikkis. This should yield approx. 15-16 tikkis.
3. Heat a flat pan with 1 tablespoon of oil, add tikkis and fry on medium for 3-4 minutes till they turn crisp and golden from the underside.
4. Flip, drizzle oil on top and sides of the tikkis and fry the other side till it’s roasted well.
