A Delicious Tikki with goodness of Protein..A traditional punjabi starter transforms into an exotic  wrap .

i must say Wrap  is whole meal in a compact form 🙂 🙂 Well, i love to have such wraps when travelling or in hurry or for some healthy change from routine food.

Here i used leftover chapati to make wrap. One can definitely make fresh one if you want. I heard many complaints about Tikkis that it gets very soggy or over mashy or losing the real taste,   To avoid the rajma tikkis from turning soggy, ensure that you drain the cooked rajma and leave it aside in the sieve for at least ten minutes, so they become completely dry. Such dry grain will give perfect taste and Texture.

But main important part in this tikkis is RAJMA. Make sure Rajma is fully cooked. Uncooked or half cooked Rajma is not good for health. It can lead to stomach pain . The best way to cook Rajma is.. Wash and soak in sufficient water for at least 7-8 hrs or over night. While cooking in pressure cooker, make sure of enough water. Add some salt as well as a pinch of Cooking soda in cooker. Cooking Soda helps in quick cooking and gives smooth texture to Rajma. Cook for at least 4 to 5 whistles on slow flame.  Another important criteria for Rajma is , it should not be too old. Sometimes very old Rajma don’t cook nicely. So always check Manufacturing Date while purchasing.

So now lets start with recipe Hope you all will love this..
