This were so easy to make and tasted so delicious! Hope you like it!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
1/4 cup parmesan cheese (powdered kind)
1/4 cup bread crumbs
Salt/Pepper to Season
1/4 to 1/2 cup cooked matki sprouts
1/8 cup finely chopped red onions
Shaan Bihari Kabob Masala (2 to 4 tbsp)
1/8 tsp turmeric powder
1/8 tsp cumin and coriander powder
1/4 tsp red chilli powder
1. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl together
2. The mixture should hold together in order to form little cakes/tikkis as shown. If they are not forming, you can add 1/2 an egg to it to use as a binder. My quinoa was sticky so I did not use any.
Assemble all cakes and set aside.
3. IN a flat bottom pan, heat some oil. Add the tikkis gently - sear on each side till golden brown.
Note:
1. If you are unsure if your tikkis/cakes will hold, just make one at first. While you are at it, get a taste test going as well! They taste amazing when hot.
2. Cooked quinoa - 1 part quinoa to 2 parts water (I took a little over 2x so make sure its cooked mushy!). when cooked I seasoned it in a pan with little oil, crushed garlic, salt and pepper and tossed and set aside. Cool the quinoa and set in a fridge - this will make it easier to form the patties.
3. Matkis or sprouts - I basically soaked them overnight, drained, then sprouted them. To cook them, I took some oil and steamed them with basic seasonings - salt, turmeric, garlic, and red chilli powder. I left them a little al dente (not mushy!) so they can be used in the cakes or on salad.
