Among popular SIndhi cuisines we have a long list . Kadi Chawara, Daal Pakwan, Seyu Patata and Sai Bhaji rank almost on the top . Sai Bhaji is spinach with lentil and veggies cooked together and then mashed up , just like how we mash Pav Bhaji . This is a green that we enjoy with a combo of Bhuga Chawara . Wondering why I am talking about Sai Bhaji and Mashed up ? Well this week’s theme is Mashed Up .
Normally I do not have leftovers but this time I made extra Sai Bhaji to make these Tikkis . All Sindhi houses make either Tikkis or koftas from the left over saibhaji.I have’nt posted the koftas as yet, but shall do so soon.
Tikkis are always a hit in our family and here are some Tikkis using Spinach..which are healthy as well as delicious.

Tikkis are scrumptious and would not have guessed these are made with leftover mashed curry. Front the description sai bhajia, I am assuming it is a curry.
That’s a wonderful twist to the theme vaishali..very nice and its lovely reading about this dish too…anything fried is a favorite!..
What a great idea to use up leftovers. I was looking forward to seeing what everyone is coming up for the theme and this is indeed a very creative dish.
Good one. I am always looking for ways to reuse the leftovers and making tikkis is my go-to. The addition of pomegranate powder is very interesting. I haven’t use it in a long time.
Tikkis out of leftover bhaji is such an innovative idea. The tikkis look fantastic.
Tikki from leftover bhajii.. looks amazing.
Wow, thats a brilliant idea to dish out tikkis with sai bhaji. Amazing tikkis there. Beautiful tikkis to enjoy with some ketchup.
love the background in these pictures – feels just like you are inviting me to picnic with you in your backyard
Wow vaishali what a lovely dish for the theme!
Love the varieties of tikkis you have here! I can have this as a meal! Scrumptious
Wow that is such a great dish with leftover Sindhi bhaji. Those tikkis looks yummy!!
Hello, want to know if I will be able to make this without besan? Can I use sooji instead?
The SaiBhaji has channa daal , but you can add sooji instead of besan , the taste will vary but I am sure it will taste good . Try bread crumbs too , even they would be great .
