Poha(Aval) Bread Mini Rotis / Poha Bread Tikki?

Bored of aval upma and looking for quick guilt free evening snack this is just perefect for you! I havent deep fried as in the orginal recipe instead toasted it and made it like rotis/tikkis :)
Poha Bread Roti Recipe

Ingredients: [Recipe Source : CookingandMe]
  • Thin aval / poha - 1 cup
  • Bread - 3 slices [I used wheat bread]
  • Onion 1 medium sized, chopped finely
  • Jeera - 1/2 tsp
  • Ginger garlic paste - 1/2 tbsp
  • Green chillies 1 chopped finely
  • Rice flour - 3 tbsp
  • Coriander leaves - 1 tbsp
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil to toast
Method:
  1. Soak poha in 1/2 cup water for 10 mins(not more than that if its thin poha) or until soft. Dip bread in little water, squeeze out water and add it to poha.

  2. Now add the rest of the ingredients to this and mix well to form a thick mixture.Make small balls and flatten them to discs of 1/4 inch thickness.

  3. Add oil in a pan just enough to toast and toast them until slightly browned on both the sides. They arent very crispy like the deep fried ones but softer and tastier.

NOTE : You can alternatively deep fry them too as in the orginal recipe.

After flattening them using your hands you can even cut out perfect round shapes using a small lid. But I didnt do it and thats y the irregular circles :) Isnt that a quick and interesting snacky? Do try out and am sure these rotis will not disappoint you.
