1. You can add more or remove onion, tomato and potato as per your choice.
2. Use your favorite masala like chat masala, pao bhaji masala etc.
3. You can add your favorite veggie in it but i wanted it to be legume based. 
4. How much water should be used to cook rice depends upon so many things like quality of rice, size of vessel etc, so add water and cook accordingly.

Notes:-

1. If you are suppose to pack it for kids lunch box then cook them on griddle or grill them very less. Do not over cook them, otherwise they become hard after some time. If you will cook them just to warm them, then they will remain soft for a long time.
2. You can skip potato, but try to not to skip cheese or rajma.
3. In spite of  packing sauce you can apply sauce straight on the bread slice and then apply mix.

HOPE YOU WILL LIKE THEM

Healthy Rajma,Paneer Tikki/ Kidney Bean Cottage Cheese Cutlet

NUTRITIOUS KIDNEY BEAN, CHEESE CUTLET/ POSHTIK RAJMA PANEER TIKKI

Hi Friends,

Tikki/Cutlet a very famous chat food. I never made tikki at home but couple of months back when my kids tasted McD's Burger they kept on asking for it. Then i started making simple aloo tikki at home for burger. You can see my Simple Aloo tikki and Burger in my blog. But i always craved for more healthier version, i tried once and failed(i did a very big and foolish mistake). I never tried again. Then I saw so many bean/cheese/veg tikki/cutlet recipes (and realized my mistake i did last time). I don't know why i always felt that kidney bean and Garbanzo Bean tikki/cutlet would be very tasty as well as healthy. 

This time i gathered courage and determined to try my hand on it. Few days back i soaked kidney Bean/ Rajma for gravy then i increased the quantity to make some cutlets. I can't tell you how tasty it was. I was so happy to see my kids devouring it. One thing i regret is my hubby was not at home when i made this. I am fully sure that he will give a thumps up to this scrumptious tikki. Will make next time for you dear. Now i have gathered enough courage to try White Chana/Garbanzo Bean Tikki. Enjoy it any time, I think between Monsson Showers is best time. I urge all of you to try this and see everyone enjoying.

Ingredients:-

For Tikki/Cutlet

Kidney Bean/Rajma      - 1-1/2 cup boiled

Potato                            - 1-1/2 medium, Boiled

Amchoor Pdr                - 1/2 tsp  (optional)

Salt                                - as per your taste

For Paste

APF Flour/Cornflour  - 1 tbsp

Water                          - 1-2 tbsp (as required) 

Recipe:- 

Keep your ingredients ready

Mash beans and potato completely

Add grated/Mashed paneer

Add coriander and all spices

Now take out a lemon size ball out of the mix(bit bigger)

Shape them in tikki

Now mix flour and water and make a very thin paste

Dip tiikies/cutlets in this thin paste

3. Tikki is fit for burgers,chats or any other way you want to use it. Its very delicious on its own.
4. My kids ate 3-4 on the spot and for left ones they asked to roll it in parantha, it was also awesome that way.
