Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Add the sprouted moong beans to a grinder and pulse them into a coarse mixture. Do not make a smooth paste.
2. Transfer the ground moong to a large mixing bowl.
3. Add the grated carrots, grated broccoli, mashed sweet potato, and oats.
4. Mix everything together until well combined.
5. Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt.
6. Mix thoroughly so the spices are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
7. Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each into a round tikki.
8. Heat a pan or tawa over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with oil.
9. Place the tikkis on the pan and shallow fry until golden brown and crisp on one side.
10. Flip carefully and cook the other side until evenly golden and cooked through.
11. Serve the hot Moong Oats Tikki with ketchup, green chutney, or your favorite dip.

Recipe Notes:

• Grind the sprouted moong coarsely to give the tikkis a better texture.
• If the mixture feels soft, add a little extra oats to absorb moisture.
• Cook on low to medium heat so the tikkis become crispy without burning.
• Chill the mixture for 15 minutes before shaping for easier handling.
• These Healthy Veg Tikki can also be baked or air-fried for an even healthier version.
• Make extra and freeze them for quick weekday meals.
• This Protein Rich Snack is ideal for kids' lunchboxes and post-workout snacks.
