Yellow Peas Tikkis ~ Easy Diabetic Snack

For the second day of Healthy Diet / Diabetic Diet, I have a simple tikki that turned out to be delicious and quite handy to tuck inbetween the bread to make a hearty meal by itself.

I had the yellow peas soaked to make some sundal, and it turned out that we just couldn't cook it as planned. We finally cooked it and still left with major part of it behind, when we thought we could make tikkis out of it. Peddu especially loves these tikkis between his bread slices and loves to think he has a perfect burger in hand. So as much as we can plan, we do make these healthy tikkis with all dried lentils that we can plan.

Yellow Peas Tikkis

Ingredients Needed:

Yellow peas - 1 cup
Potato - 2 tbsp
Green chilies - 2 medium
Ginger, grated - 1 tsp
Cumin Seeds - 1/2 tsp
Oil - 1 tsp 
Red chili powder - 1 tsp
Garam Masala - 1/2 tsp
Chat Masala - 1/2 tsp

Oats, crushed for coating

How to make the Yellow Peas Tikkis

Wash, soak the yellow peas overnight. Pressure cook with enough water till done. Allow to cool and grind to a paste.

Heat a non stick pan with oil, add cumin seeds, finely chopped green chilies, and grated ginger. Saute well.

Now add mashed potatoes, and all the spice powders. Mix well and then add the ground peas paste. Adjust for seasoning.

Allow to cool and divide into small balls and flatten. Roll the tikkis on oats powder.

Heat a non stick pan and drizzle with oil. Pan cook the tikkis till the top browns well.

Makes a delicious cake in between the bread.

I read somewhere.."I would rather do nothing and be happy than do something I know I don't love " . ......and I am sooooo loving this. I love to bake.....you give me a choice between making a simple meal of dal and rice or bake a cake....I would without a doubt on my mind.....bake a cake....I would go to an extent of baking two cakes just to make my point that I rather bake.....for me the end result of baking is the most satisfying feeling ever..

Raspberry Freezer Jam

 Raspberry Freezer Jam This isn't a recipe...it's just to help myself remember what I did.  So the next time I make jam I can decide if I want to switch it up.  I'll explain.... In January, I stumbled on a blog called wordofwisdomliving.com and it opened my eyes to the extreme amount of processed foods we eat. High fructose corn syrup, sugar, hydrogenated oil, etc.  So when I went to make a batch of freezer jam and again looked at the amount of sugar and corn syrup, I wanted to try and make a change.  So I made a batch of sugar free that was sweetened with stevia (a natural non-caloric sweetener - still not the healthiest thing, but I feel like a step in the right direction).  The batch was awful (stevia has a bitter after taste sometimes) and I was so mad that I wasted that much fruit.  So I made a normal batch and decided to conduct an experiment on my kids.  I combined the two batches and waited to see if my kids would notice.  They never ...

Roasted Beets

This recipe is Elimination-Diet friendly.  The downside of beets is that they take a long time to cook.  The upside of beets is that they're delicious either hot or cold, so they're great in a packed lunch, and throw needed vitamin C and fiber into your diet.  Roasted beets are worth it, since they're much more flavorful and toothsome than canned varieties, and less expensive. If the beets come with greens, you can cook them up like swiss chard.  I would make the greens the first night, roast the beets during dinner, and eat the beets the next day.   Ingredients: 4-6 beets 1/4 cup olive oil 14 cup balsamic vinegar (optional) Recipe: Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit Peeling beets is just like peeling potatoes, but messier.  Beet juice will stain a lot of surfaces, including countertops, hands, and fabrics.  It's easiest to just station yourself at the sink with a little water running (or a bowl of water if you're in a drought stat...
