ABOUT Horse Gram Tikki RECIPE

Horse Gram Lentil (Kulthi / Kollu / Ulavalu) is not too familiar and the name itself may not sound appealing to the ears. But this humble lentil contains an amazing number of nutritional benefits. It is a rich source of protein, calcium, iron and is also low in fat and is diabetic friendly. It can also be sprouted and made into salads and soups. Today I prepared some Patties out of the boiled & strained lentils left behind from preparing some soup.

Ingredients Serving: 6

1/2 cup Horse Gram lentil, soaked overnight
salt to taste
1/2 tsp. turmeric powder
2-3 tbsp. rice flour
2 tbsp. bread crumbs
1 onion, chopped
1 tsp. ginger-grated
1-2 green chilies
pinch of baking soda
1 tbsp. flax seed (opt)
1 tsp. red chili flakes
2-3 tbsp. coriander leaves, chopped
oil to shallow fry

Instructions

Pressure cook the lentils in enough water for 10-12 minutes on a low flame after the first whistle. Drain the stock (to be used later as soup) and let the boiled lentils cool down.
Grind with just enough water into a fine paste. Mix with the rest of the ingredients, except oil, into a dough.
Form round shape flat tikkis out of it and refrigerate for an hour. Heat 2 tbsp. oil and shallow fry them in batches till light golden colour on both sides.
Drain on a tissue paper and serve them hot with sauce or chutney as an appetizer or as an evening tea-time snack. The leftover ones can be made into stuffed parathas or kachoris.
