Parboil peas and corn. In a pan, boil water and salt and add peas and corn. Let this cook for 3-4 minutes. Once done, drain excess water and keep aside.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan. Add green chilli, hing and carrots. Mix and saute for 1-2 minutes on medium flame. Cover and cook for 3-4 minutes. Stir in-between.
Then add onions and capsicum. Sprinkle little salt, saute and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Then add parboiled peas and corn.
Mix and add all dry spice powders – red chilli flakes, dhaniya powder+ jeera powder, chaat masala, amchur, kitchen king masala and salt. Saute for 1-2 minutes.
Now add mashed potatoes and mix well. Combine everything well using a vegetable masher.
Then add powdered oats and mix. If you feel mixture is not dry or has little moisture, then add little more oats powder. Make sure mixture is not sticky at this stage, otherwise it will be difficult to make cutlets out of it.
Switch off the flame and let the mixture cool down.
For the coating
In a small bowl, combine corn flour, rice flour and add little water to make a lump-free medium-thick batter/slurry. Gradually add water and keep whisking.
In a flat plate, spread breadcrumbs.
Making cutlets
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape into small tikkis/cutlets.
Make small/medium sized cutlets from the mixture. Shape into a round ball and then flatten it between palms.
Dip the cutlets in the slurry. Coat with breadcrumbs. Arrange cutlets on a baking tray.
Prepare all the cutlets and arrange on a baking tray leaving some gap in-between.
Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 25-30 minutes or until the tikkis turn crisp and light golden from both sides.
Serve these tikkis hot as an appetizer or tea time snack along with green chutney.
