You can easily cook/shallow-fry the tikkis in a non-stick by using minimal oil.

To replicate the texture of normal tikkis, we have used a combination of potato and porridge, which adds an extra flavour to the dish as well. You can also add 1 tbsp cornflour to the dough to make the tikkis crispier. Serve the Porridge Tikkis with tomato ketchup or mint chutney. To make the combo more wholesome, pair up these scrumptious Porridge Tikkis with a piping hot cup of Tea or Coffee.
