This recipe brings together the best of health and taste. Sprouts—especially moong and chickpea sprouts—are an excellent plant-based source of protein, fibre, and minerals. By combining them with potatoes, spices, and herbs, you get delicious tikkis that are crispy on the outside and soft inside.
Once cooked, these tikkis can be served as-is with green chutney, or you can turn them into a full chaat by topping them with yogurt, tamarind chutney, crunchy sev, and pomegranate seeds. The result is a wholesome snack that feels like street food but nourishes like a power meal.
It works well as a protein-rich evening snack, post-workout meal, or even a light dinner option. Plus, it’s fully vegetarian and can be made vegan by skipping yogurt.
Make the Tikki:
Blend half the boiled sprouts coarsely (not fully smooth). Keep the rest whole.
In a bowl, mix sprouts, mashed potato, besan, spices, ginger, green chili, and coriander leaves.
Shape into round tikkis.
Heat a pan, add oil, and shallow fry until both sides are golden and crisp.
Assemble the Chaat:
Place 2 hot tikkis on a plate.
Top with 2–3 tbsp yogurt, 1 tbsp green chutney, and 1 tbsp tamarind chutney.
Sprinkle chopped onions, tomatoes, and coriander leaves.
Add sev and pomegranate seeds.
Dust with chaat masala.
Serve:
Serve immediately while the tikkis are still hot and crispy.
Adjust spice levels by adding more green chili or red chili powder to the tikki.
For a vegan version, skip yogurt and add extra chutneys.
You can air-fry or bake the tikkis for a healthier option.
Always serve the chaat immediately; otherwise, the sev and tikkis will turn soggy.
Make extra tikkis and store in the fridge (uncooked) for up to 2 days. Shallow fry when needed.
Yes, moong sprouts alone work fine. Adding chickpea sprouts increases protein and gives more bite.
Add besan or breadcrumbs as a binder. Fry on medium heat to prevent crumbling.
The tikkis alone can be packed, but assemble the chaat just before eating.
Each serving (2 tikkis with toppings) gives ~12–14 g protein, making it suitable as a high-protein snack.
