Patties, more commonly known as tikki, is a staple in Indian kitchens. While you want to make a crispy aloo tikki chaat for a savoury evening snack or to whip up a sumptuous filling for an American burger, making patties is more or less a weekly chore. Since patties are so versatile, you can use up leftover dal or sabzi, use up colourful veggies, mince some meat, and the list goes on.
If you make patties often, did you know that Usha’s food processor can cut down half of your prep time? To simplify, speed up, and create perfect texture, here are some simple tips you can follow to ensure crunchy patties every time. So, plug in your food processor and arrange your ingredients to make some delicious patties you never thought you could make at home.
Prepare The Ingredients
The first step to ensure that your ingredients to make patties are impeccably mixed is to prep the ingredients. Since any food processor works best when the ingredients are slightly chopped, it is best if you don’t use large chunks, as they can stay uneven, and the smaller pieces may get overprocessed while chopping. This also ensures that the food processor is not overburdened and will increase its durability.
Use Pulse Mode
One of the most useful tips to make the most out of a food processor is to use the pulse mode. If you use a food processor at high speed, there is always a chance for you to overprocess the ingredients. With Usha’s food processor, you get more control over the texture when you pulse, as it allows you to control the mixture and create a chunkier texture for a crispier patty.

Add Binding Agents
Binding agents like eggs, breadcrumbs, or even flour can help hold the patty together. You can start by adding half of your chosen binding agent in the Usha food processor, pulse, and add more after checking the consistency of the mixture. Remember to gradually add the binding agent to avoid getting a sticky or dense mixture.
Chill The Ingredients
While processing the ingredients in a food processor, it is common to generate a little heat, especially if you are working at high speed. Since overheating can make ingredients like butter or cheese melt, you can try to use chilled ingredients, which can ensure that the patties get impeccable texture.
Don’t Overload The Food Processor
Even though you might add all the ingredients together for chopping or blending in a food processor, overloading can cause uneven mixing. If so, some ingredients can get over-processed while leaving the others coarsely chopped. To ensure that the ingredients are impeccably mixed, divide the mixture into two to three portions and then process each batch separately in your Usha’s food processor.
