Healthy Mint and Masoor Tikkis

Ingredients:

1/4 cup whole masoor (whole red lentils)
1/4 cup mint, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ginger-green chilli paste
2 teaspoons whole wheat bread crumbs
2 tablespoons low fat paneer, grated
salt to taste
Other Ingredients
1 teaspoon oil for cooking


Directions:

Clean, wash and soak the masoor overnight. Drain.
Combine the masoor with 2 cups of water and pressure cook till the masoor is soft
and slightly overcooked, but not mashed.
Drain the masoor and discard any excess water. Coarsely pound the masoor in a
mortar and pestle.
Combine the masoor paste with the remaining ingredients and mix well.
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into an even sized
round and flatten the rounds to make tikkis.
Heat a non-stick pan and cook each tikki over a high flame using a little oil until both
sides are golden brown in colour.
Serve hot.
