Tikka is an apitizer generally made using panner and veggies marinated in spice mixture. There are many variations in this popular starter dish. I used button idlis along with veggies and used very minimal spices which are readily available at home. Try this mouth watering delicacy with any millet idli.
Ingredients:
- 15 to 20 Button Idlis
- 15 Square pieces of Green, Red and Yellow capsicums
- 15 Thick Onion Slices
- 15 Wooden Toothpicks
- 2 Tbsp Oil
- 1 Tbsp Idli Milagai Podi
- 1/2 Tsp each (Mustard Seeds, Jeera)
- 1/4 Tsp Pepper Powder
Directions:
- A grill pan will give best results, but it can be made using a simple tawa will also. Keep ready all the idli pieces with onion and peppers in a toothpick.
- Add oil in the pan and on low heat, add mustard seeds, jeera, pepper powder and idli pods in the same order. Roast for 30 seconds.
- Place the prepared toothpicks on the spice mix and cook from all sides till they are roasted. It may take 10 minutes.
- Serve warm.
Note:
- Any millet can be used for this recipe.
- If big pan is available, skewers can be used instead of toothpicks.
- Tomatoes, panner pieces can also be used along with capsicum.
