An interesting variation to the usual vegetable tikki. Raw bananas and mixed dal adds up to the nutritious quotient of the recipe. The tikki is scrumptious, full of flavors and most importantly it is tummy filling.

Best choice to serve at parties as starters or as a part of breakfast spread. In this recipe, I have included spinach/palak also, just to give some color and make it healthier. It is pan fried and hence calls for very little amount of oil.

Raw Banana Mixed Dal Tikki

An interesting variation to the usual vegetable tikki… Raw bananas, mixed dal and spinach adds up to the nutritious quotient of the recipe… The tikki is scrumptious, full of flavours and most importantly it is tummy filling…

  • 2 Raw Banana (large sized, unripe)
  • 1 cup Mixed Dal (

    (equal amount of thuvar, channa, green
    moong, yellow masoor, urad dhal)

    )
  • ½ cup Spinach/Palak (finely chopped)
  • ½ tbsp Green Chilly (finely chopped)
  • 1 tsp Garlic Paste
  • 1 tsp Ginger Paste
  • ½ tsp Jeera Powder
  • 1 tsp Coriander Powder
  • ½ tsp Red Chilly Powder ((optional))
  • Salt (to taste)
  • 3 tbsp Cornflakes (coarsely grounded)
  • Cooking oil (to pan fry the tikkis)

  1. Wash and soak the dals in water for 3 hrs. Grind it coarsely using very little amount of water.

  2. Wash and finely chop the palak or spinach leaves. Keep it aside.

  3. Pressure cook or microwave raw bananas with skin until they are soft but firm. Bring it to room temperature. Peel the skin and grate the bananas.

  4. In a large bowl, mix grated raw bananas, coarsely grounded mixed dal batter, finely chopped palak, chopped green chillies, ginger garlic paste, jeera powder, coriander powder, red chilly powder and salt.



  5. Mix well and shape the dough into medium-sized tikkis. Let the thickness be about 1/2 inch.

  6. Coat them with coarsely powdered cornflakes. Refrigerate the cutlets for 15 minutes or till we use. This helps to dehydrate the moistness in the tikkis and make it crispier when toasted.



  7. Just before serving, cook the tikkis on hot griddle with a tsp of cooking oil. Cover with a lid for few seconds and toast. Open the lid and flip the cutlets to roast both the sides until they turn golden in colour.



  8. Serve hot with any chutney or sauce of your choice.



  • To pep up its spiciness, I have added little bit of red chilly powder and that is optional.
