Ingredients
vegetarian
4 servings
- 3 cups sprouted red whole masoor
(soak the Masoor in water for 3-4 hours. Wash and tie the soaked masoor in a cloth and let it be tied for a day or two for the sprouts to emerge. The more sprouts the better it tastes and is healthy as it adds the necessary antioxidants and proteins). - 1/2 cup of fresh washed and chopped spinach
- 1/2 cup chopped onions 6-7 green chillies
- 2-3 finely chopped curry leaves
- 2-3 cloves of garlic
- 1 tbsp of chopped ginger
- 4 peppercorns roasted
- 1/2 cup dried corn meal (it looks like a sooji but this one is made of corn)
- 1 cup fresh corn kernels salt s per your taste)
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise (Fate Free will do)
- 3 tbsp Chilli masala flavored Tomato Ketchup
- 1 tbsp fresh basil and coriander leaves very finely chopped
Directions
For Tikkis:
In a mixer with little water blend the sprouted masoor dal, spinach, onions, green chillies, curry leaves, garlic, ginger, roasted peppercorns.
Remove the mixture in a vessel, then add the fresh corn and the corn meal, salt and mix well
Put little oil in a frying pan and with the help of a spoon out the misture on the pan and pat it into small round tikki type shape and cook evenly on both the sides. Apply oil as you need.
For Sauce:
In a bowl, put the Chilli masala tomato ketchup, mayonnaise, basil and coriander and mix well with a fork (fork because it will mis well and the mayonnaise will start becoming light and fluffy making the sauce more light)
Take a plate and arrange the tikkis (please do not overlapse them) with the sauce in the middl. To make it look more fresh, a slice of lime is always a hit!
