  • 1 medium red or brown onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp of garam masala
  • 1 tsp of cumin seeds
  • 1.5 tsp of chilli powder or chilli flakes
  • 1 tsp of salt
  • 30 g of panko breadcrumbs
  • 4 tbsp of rapeseed oil or ghee
  • 150 g of cooked red cabbage
  • 60 ml of olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp of sugar
  • 3 tsp of balsamic vinegar

Method

4 steps
  1. Step 1

    Put the potatoes, sprouts, parsnips and carrots in a large bowl with the onion, garam masala, cumin, 1 tsp chilli powder (or chilli flakes), ½ tsp salt and the breadcrumbs; mix well. Roll the mixture into 12 equal-sized balls, then flatten each ball a bit and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the rapeseed oil or ghee in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the tikkis in batches for 3-4 mins on each side, until golden and crisp. Remove to a plate and leave to drain on kitchen towel.

  3. Step 3

    For the dip, put the red cabbage in a blender with the olive oil, sugar, balsamic vinegar, tahini, ½ tsp chilli powder (or chilli flakes), ½ tsp salt and 50ml water; blitz to a houmous-like consistency.

  4. Step 4

    Serve with a mixed salad, if you like, and top with a grind of black pepper.
