Soya nugget is known for high protein content. It is known to reduce the risk of osteoporosis in menopausal women .Spinach or palak besides being rich in iron, it is one of the principal resources of pigments, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. Thus, it is a promising food with an array of health benefits.

I got this idea of making this combination of soya nugget and palak  from a television show. But I prefer oil less food. I tried this tikki in a sandwitch toaster.It came out very crispy. For binding i used channa daal and fried channa daal powder. Let us see how to make this simple healthy evening snack.

Preparation time approx 30 minutes.
