Garbanzo Beans-Yogurt Patty

This Tikki is basically made using two ingredients “Garbanzo” & “Yogurt” (If Vegan, You can use Vegan Yogurt), both have very mild taste but along with the listed ingredients, this turns out to be a very creamy, soft and aromatic flavored tikki.
PS: I so wanted to garnish them with fresh cilantro but they were gone even before reaching the table. 


NOTE: *Please do ensure that the yogurt is without any water (hang it for a while in a cheesecloth). This is a key ingredient.
* Also, be little careful while cooking them as they are so tender that they might break.

1. In a mixing bowl, add all the listed ingredients except oil and mash them to form a dough like
   consistency.
2. Divide the dough into equal round balls and form into desired shape of a patty/tikki. (Makes approx 8 big tikki’s)
3. Heat the nonstick pan on high, add 1 Tbsp oil and place 4 tikki’s on it.
4. Lower the heat to medium and let the tikki cook and get evenly brown (Takes about 2-3 minutes each side).
5. Turn the tikki’s to the other side and cook evenly.
6. Repeat step 4-5 to complete all the tikki’s.
7. Serve Hot.
