Steps
- Prepare the Tikki Mixture: • Pulse the sprouted green gram in a blender until coarse. Transfer to a mixing bowl. • Blend the rolled oats into a fine powder and add to the bowl. • Mix in the roasted cumin, black pepper, red chili powder, and salt. • Add grated paneer, ginger, shallots, green chilies, coriander, carrot, and bell pepper. Mix thoroughly to form a uniform mixture.
- Form the Tikkis: • Grease your hands with oil. Shape portions of the mixture into tikki or cutlet shapes. • Press sesame seeds onto each tikki for a crunchy topping.
- Cook the Tikkis: • Heat a pan over medium heat with 1 tsp oil. Fry tikkis until golden brown on both sides. Alternatively, air-fry for a healthier option.
- Prepare the High Protein Creamy Dip: • Soak cashews in water for 15–20 minutes. • In a blender, combine soaked cashews, paneer, garlic, white vinegar, olive oil, 1 tbsp of hung curd, salt and coriander leaves for freshness. Blend until smooth. • Add the second tbsp of hung curd gradually and blend again to adjust the consistency. Avoid adding water unless necessary (1–2 tsp max).
- Serve: • Plate the tikkis alongside the creamy dip. Enjoy your healthy, protein-packed meal! Tips for a Perfect Creamy Dip: • Hung Curd: Ensure curd is hung for at least 1 hour to remove all whey. If it’s still watery, hang longer. • Thickening Liquidy Dip: Re-blend with extra paneer or 2–3 additional soaked cashews if the dip becomes runny. • Consistency Control: Add water sparingly (1–2 tsp) only if blending becomes difficult.
