Ankurit Moong ki Tikki



Ingredients
Ankurit Moong (Sprouted Moong) - 2 cups (you can use regular overnight soaked green moong as well)
Hari Mirch (Green Chillies) - 2
Adrakh (Ginger) - 1 inch piece
Lal Mirch (Red Chilli) Powder - 1/2 tsp
Dhaniya (Coriander) Powder - 1/2 tsp
Jeera (Cumin) Powder - 1/2 tsp
Bread Crumbs - 1/2 to 3/4 cup
Onions - 3/4 cup finely chopped.
Salt - as per taste

Preparation

Grind everything except bread crumbs and onions coarsely or fine per your liking. Add as little water as you can as you don't want it to be runny.
Add onions and 1/2 cup bread crumbs to it and mix well. Add more bread crumbs to make it more binding so that you can make a ball out of the mixture and form a tikki.
Take a non stick hot griddle and fry these tikkis with as little oil as you can. I like to use zero calories oil sprays for this kind of frying. Alternatively, for those of you who have appam pan, can try it in that. I have never tried that method, but I am sure, it will be lovely.
Fry till they are golden brown on both the sides till they are golden brown. Remember, this is ground uncooked moong, so it should be fried at low heat for longer period than usual aloo tikkis.

Serving
Serve them with some favorite chutneys or sauce or just plain old dahi.
