Peas and Sago Tikkis…an unusual combination


P1060053
Hi all!
As I mentioned in my Minty stuffed eggplant post, things are just going too hectic and at times I wonder how I will manage so much later! The thought that blogging might take a back seat itself is depressing and the minute this thought haunts me I try to cook something unusual thinking that ‘kal kisne dekha hai, aaj to accha bana lo’,  meaning who has seen tomorrow, let’s cook our best today. So I’m definitely trying hard to post as much as possible now as I do not know what I will do later and keep the blog going. In this process I’m being very sincere to my event ‘Only’- Original and all the recipes which are hidden some where in my mind and I had always wanted to try are being cooked and posted here.
I do not remember how this preparation came to my mind but I knew wanted to try this out, I’d never read or heard someone making this combination, pardon me if I’m wrong in thinking so, but do believe me when I say that it tastes good and the ingredients blend well.

Roll the tikkis in corn starch and remove the excess corn starch, shallow fry the tikkis and remove it on kitchen towel. It is my personal observation that using corn starch not only yields a crunchy crust but it  helps absorb less oil.

Serve hot with tomato sauce.
