Tikki patties are round, crusty, pan- or deep-fried potaot patties - another oneof India's favorite street foods. Tikkis are generally made with mashed potatoes and come plain or filled with a wide variety of vegetables, legumes, cheeses, and meats. They are traditionally fried in a pool of oil that collects in the center of a large, over-size, cast-iron, concave tava griddle. As they start to turn a rich golden hue, they are gently pushed toward the sloped outer edges of the tava, where they sit until all the excess oil drains out and the mild heat gently crisps and darkens the flat under-sides. They are turned once to crisp the other side.
Tikki patties are customarily served whole with an assortment of saucy chutneys, or open-faces and topped with yogurt, special masalas (spice blends) and fresh herbs. Tikkis can be presented as you would hamburger patties, sandwiched between two pieces of bread with all kinds of fixings - even ketchup.
Home cooks often deep fry- the tikkis until just golden and then crisp them on a tava griddle. All tikki patties can be made 4 to 5 days in advance then cooled completely and stored in the refrigerator. Reheat in a skillet or a preheated 400 F oven, about 10 minutes.
