This quinoa green moong cutlet recipe / Quinoa patties / Green moong tikki is an innovative guilt free snack from my kitchen. I have some quinoa bags in my pantry so I thought of trying to make my own variation of quinoa patties along with green gram for binding, it came out so good. Quinoa and green moong dal, both are in super food list and they are rich in protein and good for weight loss. Even vegan can have it.

Quinoa cutlet is a healthy and nutritional rich snack. I wanted to make it with Indian twist. So I added some Indian spices to rich the flavor of the cutlet. You can add mashed potato or sweet potato to the cutlet for binding. But in this quinoa green moong cutlet recipe, I used green gram for binding. You can have it in burgers or sandwiches. I had it with frankie roll. I will post the recipe soon.

Usually modak is made with rice flour and it is steamed. Here in fried palkova modak recipe it is deep fried, made with maida for outer covering and palkova for inner filling. The semolina we add here make the modak super crispy. This is my mom modak recipe and she tried the fried modak with coconut jaggery filling.  I thought this kozhukattai recipe was quick to make when compared to the regular kozhukattai.

Recently I tried my hands on Fried Modagam but I want to try it with something different filling so I used palkova for inner filling, I was little nervous that the filling would come out and spoil the oil. But it came out nice and it was awesome in taste.  You can use any filling that’s your choice, either coconut jaggery filling or dal jaggery filling.

If in case you are in short of time or don’t have any moulds,  you don’t want to skip making prasad for ganesh chaturthi right, so try this super quick fried modak, you will love it 🙂
