Serve hot with tomato ketchup or Green dip.

Note
I used salad in slice but can use shredded or grated also because I felt it's easy to assemble and serve.
For tikkies can use any vegetables like carrot,cabbage,beans,green veggies too and paneer also.
If your tikki is breaking in frying then add 2 mashed potatoes in sooji mixture. 

Another way also-
whisk 4 tbsp maida (all purpose flour) with little milk (1/4 cup) to make a light batter. Season to taste with salt, pepper, cumin powder and chili powder.
Dip the tikkies into the batter and roll them in the crushed cornflakes or bread crumbs or poha (pressed rice) and deep fry or shallow fry.
