Notes

You can add sweet potatoes in place of potato.
You can also add some fresh methi leaves or any other veggie like shredded carrot, beetroot, cabbage, sweet potato with or in place of spinach. You can even add coriander leaves with tender stem(finely chopped), baby kale or collard greens.
Instead of Flax meal, you can also add grated paneer(Indian cottage Cheese) or roasted chickpea flour (gram flour or besan).
Rolled oats can also be added for a more fibrous and nutritious cutlet.
Skip green chilies when making for kids.
For a no-onion garlic rajma cutlet recipe, skip onion and garlic.
Do not forget to add a tsp of oil when making in air-fryer/baking. It prevents the cutlet to come out dry. Adds on to the moistness and softness.
Make cutlets of the required size. You can also make bigger patties for burgers.
Refrigerate tikkis for at least 30 mins, before cooking.
