Oats Sprouts Tikki – Diabetic special recipe

Sprouts are more nutritious than legumes for they are more easily
digestible, and give higher fibre content than most foods. We love sprouts in all forms – Sprouts Adai, Sprouts Rava Idli, Salad, Khichdi etc… 

So what is a
diabetic special Sprouts tikki doing in a kids’ special Legumes theme post ?
Well, I believe that if you provide healthy eating habits at home, kids wont go
after junk food – Atleast thats what happened when I had made this as an
evening snack. I had made it for a diabetic guest at home, and k
iddo liked the taste so much that she asked me to prepare it
again in the morning along with the Kala Channa Pulao for her lunchbox. 

It was
a bit of protein overdose, but as long as she liked it, and the box came back
empty, who am I to complain ? Do try this out, and am sure you would make it
often. Sending it to BM # 46 Legumes Special Themeand Valli’s Kids Delight event.
