Samak Ki Tikki – Navratri Special
Introduction -:
Samak, Mordhan or Barnyard millet, is one of my most favourite millets to cook with. With it being a good source of protein, and relatively low in calories, this tikki features quite often in my regular dinner menus as well. Crisp and delicious patties made with barnyarn millet, potato and spices (food for fasting). Most of the people in North India fast during Navratri and eat only satvik food as grains and pulses are prohibited during fasting this sama & potato tikki is a favourite fasting food of my family.
