Potato & Broccoli Tikki

Broccoli is an excellent source of  Vitamin K , C, E and B 6. It is a very good source of dietary fiber, magnesium, protein, calcium, omega 3 fatty acids and iron. On the other hand Potato is also rich in Vitamin B 6 and C.

 My family loves potato and  broccoli has been in our diet since few years now. My daughter who is a picky eater removes broccoli aside from the dish. I started adding some grated broccoli in potato paratha which is one of her favorite. For some extent I was successful in feeding her broccoli. Yesterday I had some potato and broccoli paratha stuffing left out. Instead of making parathas again, I have added some bread crumbs to it and made  tikkis / cutlets with them. Believe me my kids didn't even know there was broccoli in it. It would make a great after school snack or can be packed in  lunch box for kids.

Grating the broccoli makes them invisible in dishes and it is easier to serve kids. The tikkis look fabulous.
