Indian Monsoons are incomplete without indulging some piping hot, spicy and savory snacks like Rajma Aloo Tikki. These pan fried tikkis are perfect amalgamation of flavors and these filling tikkis or cutlets are perfect accompaniment with hot tea/coffee. Do give this a try today…
Finally….I am here sitting with my laptop….It’s been 13 days since the event ‘Joy From Fasting To Feasting – VII’ ended….Time went by so fast….A sudden emergency at home demanded my time and took away energy from me….Thank you so much for checking on me….Yeah I am still alive….breathing, cooking and clicking…. J…but just finding it difficult to sit back and make a post….InshaAllah from now on I tend to be more regular with my post’s to keep you entertain and make you drool….After battling with pile of clicks of recipes….which I made mostly during Ramadan….I could not decide on what to post for today…As you know my love for snacks I keep experimenting a lot with snacks to keep a balance on health and taste. One such experiment…. led to make me try these cutlets….The health quotient is these tikki’s are not deep fried….The taste part is…these have got rajma in it…isn’t it wonderful…??
Though rajma is not a regular item in my grocery list….I buy a packet once a while, as Lil’M is very fond of these kidney beans….Rajma Masala is her favourite and I really wonder about her diverse food tasting habits….Allhumdulliah….It rained last evening (even it is raining now, when I am making this post) and rains demand piping hot food…so is these garma garam Rajma-Aloo Cutlets were born yesterday in my kitchen to satisfy that sudden urge to indulge something spicy and hot….Try these cutlets….before rains go away….
