Broccoli Tikki

Broccoli Tikki


This cheesy and crunchy delicacy is sure to steal the hearts of both young and old alike.
The dish, otherwise stuffed with mozzarella cheese cubes, is stuffed with low-fat
paneer and very little cheese to give it a healthy twist. Instead of 6 big tikkis you
can also make 10 small tikkis.
