This beetroot tikki recipe gives you a tasty and very healthy snack, that could make sure your kids eat this otherwise disliked vegetable!
This is a very easy-to-make, healthy and colourful appetizer beetroot tikki recipe that you can enjoy guilt free. These tikkis or say mini tikkis are prepared from grated beetroot and sweet potato.
So here is a minor twist in the beetroot tikki recipe. We have avoided using potatoes for binding and used sweet potatoes instead. Sweet potatoes are rich in iron, fibre and vitamins A and C. Plus we have added nuts for the crunchy taste. We have shaped these tikkis a bit smaller to serve them as an appetizer.
If you or someone in your family does not like the taste of beetroot, we would suggest you start with ½ beetroot and add 2-3 sweet potatoes in this beetroot tikki recipe. In this manner, you can gradually develop a taste for the healthy vegetable and then enjoy these tikkis or any other beetroot recipe.
Boiled or cooked beetroot, added to any dish, makes the dish colourful and healthy. Boiled or cooked beetroot tastes better as compared to raw beetroot.
You can use these tikkis for making burger or simply serve them as an appetizer or tea time snack along with green chutney.

Now add grated ginger and all the spice powders – coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala powder, chaat masala and salt and saute for about a minute.
Then add mashed sweet potato and mix everything well.
In the end add coarsely crushed nuts and raisins. Mix well.
Remove the mixture from flame and leave it to cool.
Pre-heat oven at 180 degrees.
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape into small tikkis.
Arrange in a baking tray.
Bake in a preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until the tikkis turn crisp.
Serve these beetroot tikkis hot as an appetizer or tea time snack along with green chutney.

Dear Women’s Web Community Member,
You may have wondered at our being on the quieter side during the last couple of months. Thank you for your patience, and we wanted to come back to you with a detailed note on what’s been happening at our end of things.
When we first began Women’s Web, as a blog from one woman’s desk along with a few like-minded souls, little could we have imagined the heights that it would soar to. Over the years, Women’s Web has published over 20000 stories (almost all by women), empowered countless women with the ideas, community and resources to chase their dreams, employed hundreds of women in core and project-based roles, and in the process, emerged as the OG women’s community in India. It has also inspired many others to build communities of a similar nature, all enabling women (and other-underrepresented groups) in their own ways.
