*100 gms boiled sweet potatoes
*1.5-2 big spoonfuls of finely chopped onion, carrot, beans, capsicum, boiled peas, and corn
*A lot of green coriander
*Green chillies
*Spices
*Chaat masala, salt, black pepper, red chillies, coriander powder, and cumin powder
Method
*Mix all the ingredients and make thin, palm-sized patties.
*Heat a non-stick pan and brush it lightly with oil. Put all the patties in the pan and roast them until the tikkis are crisp and brown in colour.
Who can have it?
Since these tikkis are packed with fibre, protein, and complex carbs, they can be consumed by people who prefer healthy food. Also, these tikkis are safe to be consumed by people with PCOS, thyroid, cholesterol, and blood pressure.
However, you need to have a balanced meal and have tikkis as a meal. A person can take two patties while having as a meal and one when eaten as a snack. The dietitian advised to pair it with a salad and green chutney.
