A nutritious tea time snack made guilt free.. Chickpea tikkis --- chickpeas are soaked overnite, cooked, mashed well and blended with spices and made into tikkis on a non stick pan with just a tsp of oil. In a city like Chennai it's really difficult to find eateries selling guilt free snacks/ munches.. Especially i hate the fact that they are dunked in oil and rested on newspapers (don't people know that chances of the inks / toners used to print those papers may be glued to food items). With World cup matches on snacking has become a important part.. while watching TV.

Grease a non stick pan drizzle half tsp of oil place the tikkis cook on both the sides until crispy and serve hot!!

Notes: Thes tikkis can be rolled in 2 tbsp corn flour + water mixture and rolled in bread crumbs and then can be made into tikkis. This will give more crunchier tikkis.
