Sweet Potato Tikki with Cranberry Chutney

It's been a while since I'm here.Hope you guys are doing good. Well , at times we need to priorotise. It's Friday and I know my boy will be expecting something special. So managed to make this yummy and quick tikki and chat pati cranberry chutney to go along with it. If you wonder what tikki means, think of croquetts  or a small patty . This is not a deep fried version so eat guilt free and enjoy.



This Indian version of croquettes are yum with full of textures and flavors unique with Indian Cuisine. I've added some corns to get that crunch and slight sweetness from sweet potatoes along with earthy and warm roasted cumin , spiciness from chillies and some dry mango to cut through sweetness and loads of fresh coriander leaves, it's a riot of flavors in the mouth.

Tikkies ready to get shallow fried


Hot tikkis with a lip smacking dip can give you a best company when the weather is gloomy and ready to pour. If you like coffee or masala chai , then you can start a party there. Hope to meet to all with lots of writing and a good recipe, probably soon.
