In my quest to find low-fat, healthy snacks for kids this is yet another Tikki that really gets everybody excited. Patties or Tikkis are such a wonderful snack that you can whip within minutes without much hassle. And it need not be that you need to plan for these easy to make, healthy alternatives for those chips or other junk food that's kids love so much.
This Paneer Spinach Tikkis was something that came about at home. Athamma was planning to make some Tikkis with paneer for a long time. When she couldn't get this done on time, it was chosen for a different time and finally never got around to being done. We always have homemade paneer at home stocked. So making this was also not so difficult to plan. Finally, when we saw that we had spinach excess, it naturally had to get into other healthy ways for the kids to eat.
I was happy that this was done finally and not once but quite sometimes. I had to remember to take pictures as every time these were made, it vanishes before I even think about taking a picture.
