What's in a name? Tofu ka Tikki



Tofu ka tikki ya tikka?

Here is the deal, this is an amazingly good salad that I created for one of the classes and I want to use for the book. When I am translating these recipes, Anshul takes a look and says but tikki is feminine and hence I need to change the title to Tofu ki tikki.

Folks, this is probably why I abandonned French a while back. I cannot really comprehend a language that assigns a gender to a food that is gone even before I can place it on the leaves.
