Seven grain tikki, seven different grains and paneer make this dish a delectable source of proteins. I’ve rolled the tikkis in sesame seeds, which apart from being a rich source of protein also gives the snack a nice crunchy texture! a tikki provides 4. 4 gm of proteins; hence 3 to 4 tikkis are enough to meet half of your child’s daily requirement, thereby making his/her bones grow stronger.

Ingredients

1/2 cup chana dal (split Bengal gram)
2 tbsp masoor dal (split red lentil)
1 cup mixed sprouts (moong , , chana etc.)
3 to 4 green chillies , roughly chopped
12 mm (1/2") ginger (adrak) piece
1 tbsp fennel seeds (saunf)
2 cloves garlic
salt to taste
1 cup boiled , peeled and mashed potatoes
1/2 cup mashed paneer
1/2 cup chopped coriander (dhania)
1 cup finely chopped spring onions (including greens)

Other Ingredients
2 tsp toasted sesame seeds (til) and 2 tbsp for rolling
1 1/2 tsp oil for cooking

Method

Clean, wash and soak the chana dal and masoor dal in water for 3 hours.
Drain and combine the dal along with the mixed sprouts, green chillies, ginger, fennel seeds, garlic and salt and blend in a mixer to a coarse paste.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add the potatoes, paneer, coriander and spring onions and mix well.
Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a square, flat tikki.
Roll the tikkis in sesame seeds and wheat germ so that they coat the tikki evenly from all sides.
Pierce a wooden satay stick through each tikki and cook each tikki on a hot non-stick tava (griddle) on a medium flame, using 1/8 tsp of oil, till both sides are golden brown in colour.
Drain on an absorbent paper and serve hot with a dip / chutney of your choice.
