Having any leftover dal / lentil curry? Then go ahead and dish out into these yummy snacks / appetizers. This is exactly what I did. I reduced the leftover sambar that I had and combined with some mashed paneer, chopped pistachios, almond paste and few other basic ingredients to make these gorgeous looking and healthy small bites.
Enjoy them as an appetizer with any homemade chutney / sauce or as a tea time snack. You can prepare the tikkis in advance and freeze them, to be fried at the time of serving. So check out a quick step by step pictorial recipe to prepare these amazing tikkis.
- 2 cups cooked dal
- 1 cup paneer, mashed
- 2-3 tbsp. roasted chickpea flour
- 1 tbsp. fried onion
- 1-2 green chilies, chopped
- 2 tbsp. coriander leaves, chopped
- 1/2 tsp. red chili flakes
- 2 tbsp. chopped pistachios
- 2 tbsp. almond paste
- salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp. turmeric powder
- 1 tsp. sesame seeds
- 1 tsp. lime juice
- 1-2 tbsp. oil
Simmer the cooked dal till it is reduced and dry. Let it cool down. Then mix with all the other ingredients (except oil).
Divide into equal portions and give it a tikki shape. Refrigerate for some time.
Heat oil in a pan / tawa and shallow fry them in batches, till golden in colour. Drain on a kitchen towel and serve with curd chutney, green chutney or tomato sauce.
