Low Cal Bran Tikkis' that look like falafels

Recipe #35439 | 35 min | 20 min prep | add private note

These lovely tikkis are the best tikkis for the health conscious people. These are low in calories and high in iron and vegetarian too! I watched these being made on TV this morning and these were the special recipe of a weight management consultant! The best thing was the appearance of the tikkis once ready- I bet u you wont be able to say if its falafel or bran tikki! Good way to fool the little ones who love falafels to have something more nutritious and healthy!

8 -10 small tikkis (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Put all the vegetables, salt and white pepper powder in a bowl.
  2. 2
    Mix well with your hand.
  3. 3
    Put a small portion of this on your palm and shape into a thin and small tikki (round).
  4. 4
    Likewise, repeat for remaining mixture.
  5. 5
    Pour 1 tsp oil on a flat non-stick griddle (tawa).
  6. 6
    Put tikkis on this and lightly fry on both sides.
  7. 7
    Serve with ketchup and have without worry as 1 tikki is not more than 45 calories as compared to a standard size potato tikki which is 100 calories!

Wow, talk about a high fiber recipe! After learning that lauki is also known as "white pumpkin", I decided to substitute regular orange pumpkin. I also used parsley instead of coriander. I found the mixture a bit too dry and crumbly, so I added a bit more potato and pumpkin. As suggested, I ate them warm with ketchup, but I think they would also be good in pitas. I found the bran taste and texture somewhat overwhelming — I think the recipe would be improved with more vegetables and less bran.
