Cheese Corn Tikki Recipe: Step-by-Step Instructions
1. For the Filling
-
Steam the sweet corn kernels until tender.
-
If you prefer a finer texture, coarsely grind the corn in a mixer and grinder. For a chunkier bite, use the whole steamed kernels.
-
To the corn (minced or whole), add grated cheese, finely chopped green chilli, ginger-garlic paste, fresh coriander, garam masala, red chilli powder, and salt. Mix everything well to prepare the flavourful stuffing.
2. For the Outer Layer
-
Boil the potatoes until soft. Peel and mash them once cooled slightly.
-
Make sure there is no excess water in the potatoes, as this can make the mixture soggy. Drain thoroughly before mashing.
-
Add 2–3 tablespoons of rice flour, ¼ teaspoon cumin powder, ¼ teaspoon coriander powder, ¼ teaspoon red chilli powder, and salt as required. Mix well and roll the mixture into smooth balls. Allow it to rest for a few minutes at room temperature.
3. Assemble the Cutlets
-
Take a potato ball, flatten it gently with your palm, and place a spoonful of the prepared corn-cheese filling in the centre.
-
Carefully bring the edges together and seal, shaping into medium or large patties. Roll lightly in breadcrumbs for a crispy coating.
-
To prevent stickiness while shaping, apply a little oil to your palms.
4. Cook or Bake the Cutlets
-
Heat oil in a pan and shallow fry the patties on medium heat until golden brown and crisp on both sides.
-
For a healthier version, bake the patties in an oven until evenly golden and firm.
Tips for the Best Corn Cutlet Recipe Results
-
Always ensure boiled potatoes are well-drained before mashing, or the cutlets may break.
-
Refrigerating the shaped tikkis for 15 minutes before frying helps them hold shape better.
-
Lightly oiling your palms makes shaping easier and prevents sticking.
