Ingredients
  

To make the tikki mixture:

  • ½ piece cabbage small size, cut into smaller chunks
  • 3 pieces green chilies
  • ¼ cup coriander leaves
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 1.25 cups boiled potatoes mashed
  • ¼ cup paneer mashed
  • 1 piece cheese cube grated
  • 1 tsp chaat masala powder
  • 1 tsp dry mango powder amchur
  • ¼ tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp red chili powder
  • ½ tsp garam masala
  • 2 tbsp corn flour or rice flour

To coat the cabbage tikkis:

  • Corn flour as required

To fry the cabbage tikkis:

  • 2 tbsp cooking oil or ghee for a richer flavor

Instructions
 

  • Chop ½ piece of cabbage (small size, cut into smaller chunks) and 3 pieces of green chilies in a chopper. Then add ¼ cup of coriander leaves and chop them too.
  • Transfer it to a bowl and mix 1.5 tsp of salt, 1.25 cups of mashed boiled potatoes, ¼ cup of mashed paneer, a piece of cheese cube (grated), 1 tsp of chaat masala powder, 1 tsp of dry mango powder (amchur), ¼ tsp of turmeric powder, and 1 tsp of red chili powder nicely. Then mix ½ tsp of garam masala powder.
  • Finally, mix 2 tbsp of corn flour or rice flour. Mix nicely. Let it rest for 5 minutes. (Pro tip: Make sure the mixture is dry. If needed, I sometimes use more corn flour).
  • Grease your hand with a bit of cooking oil and shape the cutlets. Take as much corn flour as required and coat the tikkis nicely. (Pro tip: I coat the tikkis with corn flour because it makes them crispier. It also prevents them from breaking while frying).
  • Shallow fry them in 2 tbsp of cooking oil (or ghee for a richer flavor) in a non-stick frying pan on a medium to high flame. Remove when they are fried nice and crisp on both sides.
  • Your tasty and crispy homemade cabbage tikkis are ready.

Notes

If you do not have a chopper to chop like me, you may use a mixer but do not add any water.
I have used a mold to give a heart shape to my cutlets. You can shape them round if you do not have a mold at home.
Adding potato helps in binding the cutlet mixture.
