But you could also serve it with a simple mint coriander chutney or peanut mint chutney or ketchup.

How to make Beetroot Tikki step by step
- Firstly, wash the beetroots and potato. Take the whole beetroots and potato with the skin in a pressure cooker. Pressure cook them in enough water for 4 whistles. Alternatively, you can boil them in a pan with enough water till they turn soft.
- Once the pressure has released by itself, remove the lid of the cooker and drain the water. Let the vegetables cool down and then peel off the skin of the potato and beets.
- Mash the potatoes and grate the beetroots.
- Mix well. Then add the coarsely-ground oats.
- Again mix well and add the spice powders along with salt. Add the grated ginger too and mix.
- Take a small portion of the beetroot mixture and shape into a small ball and slightly flatten it with the palms of your hands. Similarly, repeat this for the whole mixture.
- Once you have prepared all the patties, refrigerate them for 20-30 minutes.
- Then heat a griddle or tava. Grease the tava and place 4-5 tikkis. Add 1 or 1 1/2 tsp oil for each tikki and fry them on a medium-low heat till they turn slightly brown. Then flip the tikkis and let them cook till they turn lightly brown. Flip over and slightly flatten the tikkis with the spatula and cook for a minute. Remove the tikkis from the tava. Likewise, fry the remaining tikkis in the same way.
- Oats and beetroot tikkis are ready to be served.
