The deep fried potato, and minced meat cutlet is a popular snack throughout the world. Almost every cuisine have their own version of it. In this recipe, the cutlet is pan fried and i layered the minced meat and bell pepper with a bread slice and mashed potato. We can recycle stale bread, leftover vegetables or meat into savory cutlets/ croquettes. Use mixed vegetables instead of meat for a fresh vegetarian tikki or make it a kid's menu by filling the bread with pizza toppings or mac and cheese.
