Masoor Oats Tikki/ Red Lentil Oats Patty

Masoor Oats Tikki/ Red Lentil Oats Patty is a healthy, protein rich and delicious tikki made using whole red lentil. Addition of oats and roasted Bengal increases the nutritional value of the tikki and kasuri methi enhances the taste and makes tikki aromatic when roasted with other added spices. Serve the tikki hot with green coriander chutney and ketchup as a healthy appetizer or starter. You can also use the tikkis / patty to make tasty burgers, sandwiches, wrap or you can make a delicious chaat by assembling the tikki wth green chutney, date tamarind chutney, chopped onions, sev and spices or serve it with hot peas or chole ragda (curry).

I was going to make whole masoor dal with bhakri for a simple quick weeknight dinnier. But then while having afternoon tea, I thought of surprising the family by making something delicious and fancy that will shift their minds with the lockdown effect. So thought of making tikki instead of the regular dal.

So the first thought was then was are the necessary available at home? As since the supermarket visits are minimal and only weekly now, I often run out of vegetables. Thanks to all the pulses stored, they come to my rescue always.

I needed ginger garlic paste , spices that I had at home.

For adding more softness to the tikki I need either potato or paneer. I had potatoes and hence used them. For binding the tikki you can use either cornflour, breadcrumbs, besan, sooji, oats, roasted bengal gram powder. I had some bread crumbs and I added oats and roasted bengal gram powder to make the tikkis more healthier. To give flavor to the dish I added kasuri methi. Kasuri methi along no only enhances the taste of the tikki but it releases a tempting aroma when the tikki is roasted. Besides garam masala, I added kitchen king masala to give a different taste to the tikki.

The tikki came out so well crisp and golden from outside and soft from inside.

We enjoyed some tikki with ketchup and green chutney.

But then we decided to eat is as a chat and so with some tikkis I made the chaat.

    What does 4-5 whistles mean in minutes in an instant pot? Can crimson lentils massor markings be substituted or must they be the red massor lentils?

    • Hi I have not used instant pot yet and so would not be able to guide you correctly with that. Yes you can substitute red masoor lentils for whole crimson masoor matki. The colour of the patty would be dark in that case. Thank you so much!!
