CHEESE AND BROCCOLI TIKKIS

I love anything in which i can sneak in the veggies..These tikki ( patties ) is much healthier than the normal potato ones and good for kids too as they will never eat broccoli by itself so its best to present them in this tempting and yummy form of tikkis..

If preparing for kids you can avoid adding green chillies. Serve them hot or at room temperature with your favorite tomato sauce..Enjoy these anytime , filling and healthy at the same time..
