FAQS
Can I use any other vegetable instead of bottle gourd?
Yes, you can substitute bottle gourd with grated zucchini or carrots for a different flavor.
How do I ensure the tikkis hold their shape?
Make sure to squeeze out excess water from the puffed rice and bottle gourd before mixing. Adding rice flour helps bind the mixture.
Can I deep fry the tikkis instead of pan-frying?

What spices can I add for extra flavor?

How long can I store the tikkis?
