Notes
- If the mixture feels a little loose, then add some more arrowroot flour, buckwheat flour, amaranth flour or water chestnut flour.
- When making these cutlets for Hindu fast or vrat, add edible rock salt only. Don't use regular salt for fasting food.
- If you are not making these tikki for religious fasting, then instead of rock salt you can use regular salt.
- If you don't have dried mango powder, then add a bit of lemon juice.
- The spice powders and lemon juice can be adjusted as per your taste preferences.
