  9. Heat the oil and ghee in a flat pan and keep the flame on the lower side once the oil is sufficiently hot.
  10. Keep 1 Tbsp. Oil in reserve.
  11. Sprinkle Gram flour over the disks. this will help to create the rough outer crust.

Notes

  • Mawa is optional however makes the gravy rich.
  • The gravy calls for extra oil. You may reduce as per taste.
  • Instead of Chatu/ Sattu, Besan will not work! If not available make a coarse powder of Bengal gram, Pigeon Peas (Arhar Dal/ tur Dal), and chickpeas. Take all the lentils in equal quantities.
  • Use a flat pan While tossing the Tikia with the gravy.
  • The delicate Tikia calls for attention else you get the soft kebab intact and that is, believe me, very unfortunate!
