It is not accurate to call it clash of empires. Ottomans were just peninsular kingdom. Ottomans were nothing more than just the next prey for the professional Timurid army. It was actually a slight distraction from Tamerlane's expedition to China. Timur himself didn't even engage in the battle unlike other military expeditions in Russia and India, where Timur himself personally led the army, in Ankara he was just playing chess with his son Shah Rukh. In Ankara Timur's grandson 19-year old kid, Muhammad Sultan Mirza, led the army and smashed Ottomans in 2 hours, even before Timur finishes his chess game. Ottomans stayed as Timurid vassal until 1447. Even Mehmed II was born as a servant to the house of Timur! There is no way to compare these two sides! No chance!
