PANEER TIKKI CHAAT | LOW CARB CHAAT RECIPE



Been craving chaat for some time now coz of the good weather in chennai. Paneer tikkis are regular at our place with some extended work on it made into a good chaat. Have useed cooked green moong in this recipe, it can be replaced with any lentils / pulses. Havent used flax meal / pysilium husk which i regularly add for binding in my tikkis, since moong helped in this. Toppings for the chaat are endless, i just used the ones i had in stock.

  1. Can gobble up half a dozen depending on size as it is so tempting!
    Can we not refrigerate part without damaging the outcome? This entails a delay of one hour!!

    1. Refrigeration will help in holding the shape, since flours / bindings were not used. Thank you KP sir, these were too good😁
