Preparation
For Cooking Quinoa:
Rinse the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer under running water.
In a pressure cooker, add quinoa and water.
Close the lid of the pressure cooker and cook on high heat until you hear 2-3 whistles.
Then, reduce the heat to low and cook for another 5-7 minutes.
Turn off the heat and let the pressure release naturally.
For cooking Potato:
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small pieces.
Cook potato and mash it.
Cooking Steps
In a mixing bowl, combine cooked quinoa, mashed potatoes, chopped onions, coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chilies, cumin powder, garam masala, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well.
Divide the mixture into equal-sized portions and shape them into small patties.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add the patties to the pan and cook until golden brown on both sides, flipping them occasionally.
Once the tikkis are cooked, remove them from the pan and place them on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Serve hot.
