Evening Snack Rajma Tikki Yummy Recipe

 

Rajma Tikki for the evening snack! Rajma/ Kidney beans are a great source of protein, carbs, and fiber and make for a great snack option apart from the Rajma curry that’s is usually made. Easy to make, a low-fat dish with very less ingredients that can satiate an immediate savory craving. Full of protein here's my version of Rajma Tikki or Kebabs call it whatever you like.
