This palak tikki and pepper dip recipe is not only high in protein but also crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. If you’re looking for a healthy and tasty snack, this is it.
1 cup soya granules, soaked 1 cup spinach or palak ½ cup peas 2 green chillies 1 tsp jeera powder Salt to taste 2 tsp besan 6-7 walnuts 2 dried red chillies 2 bell peppers roasted Salt to taste 3-4 tbsp of garlic, chopped 100g paneer
In a bowl, mash the soaked soya granules and combine with the chopped spinach, cooked peas, green chillies, jeera powder, salt, besan, and crumbled paneer.
Combine thoroughly to get a thick mixture. Add finely chopped walnuts for crunch, then continue mixing until everything is well combined.
Add more besan if necessary to achieve the desired consistency. Shape the ingredients into little round or flat tikkis and set them aside on a platter.
Heat a pan and shallow-fry the tikkis over medium heat until brown and crisp on all sides. Set aside.
For the pepper dip, roast the bell peppers and dried red chillies until lightly charred, then peel the skin off the peppers.
Make a smooth, slightly thick dip by blending the roasted bell peppers, red chillies, garlic, and salt. Add a dash of water if necessary.
Serve the hot palak tikkis with the smoky roasted pepper dip on the side for a protein-rich, flavourful snack!
