Making him eat the slimy veggie.....

Well generally people complain about kids not eating half of the veggies, I have a grown-up who believes that everything vegetarian should be fed to an animal & then their by-products should be consumed by us.......

So I come up with the different different ways of making him eat all those veg that I want to :)

Here's one of them: Arbi Tikki


Ingredients:
Arbi : 250 gms
1 Onion : finely chopped
1 inch ginger: finely chopped
6 cloves of garlic: chopped
3 green chillies: finely chopped
2 bread: corners cut
Salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon Garam Masala
1/2 teaspoon Dry mango powder
1/2 cup oil for cooking

Cooking:
Boil Arbi in a pressure cooker for 8 - 12 mins. Once done, peel the skin & mash arbi.
To this mash add onion, ginger, garlic, chillies, salt, garam masala & dry mango powder & mix well. The paste becomes extremely sticky to handle, add the bread (or you can opt for flour) to bring the consistency to a level that can be used to make small balls(Dont make it too dry). I personally do not add too much flour, I would rather have irregular shapes than have the taste of flour/bread in my tikki.
Roll small balls from the mixture/like me just use a spoon to scoop the mixture & let it take its own shape.
Heat a flat non-stick pan/tawa on max. flame. Pour just a lill oil, enough to coat the pan. Now put the small balls/scoops on the pan & flatten them with a spatula. Cook at medium flame changing the sides, untill your tikki turns brown.

Serve in a plate with some pudina chutney, Dal Tadka & raita along with parantha.

Bon Apetit!
