Ingredients:

• 1 cup masoor dal (soaked)
• Water, as required
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 8-10 beans, finely chopped
• 1 carrot, finely chopped
• 1-inch piece of ginger, finely chopped
• 4-5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 2-3 green chillies, finely chopped
• 1 tsp. chaat masala
• 1 tsp. jeera powder
• 1/2 tsp. garam masala
• 1/2 tsp. aamchur powder
• Black salt, to taste
• 1-2 tsp. oil for cooking

Method:

1. Start by adding the soaked masoor dal to a pressure cooker. Add salt and just enough water to cover the dal. 
2. Pressure cook the dal for 2 whistles. Once done, ensure the dal is fully cooked but not too wet.
3. In a pan, heat oil over medium flame. Add the finely chopped ginger, garlic, and green chillies to the pan and sauté.
4. Next, add the onions and cook until they begin to brown slightly.
5. Toss in the chopped carrots and beans, sautéing for 2-3 minutes. Season with black salt and keep stirring.
6. Add the cooked masoor dal to the pan with the vegetables. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes. 
7. Now, sprinkle in the chaat masala, garam masala, jeera powder, and aamchur powder, stirring well. Let the mixture cool slightly.
8. Once the mixture has cooled enough, shape it into small tikkis.
9. Heat a little oil in a hot pan. Place the tikkis in the pan and cook them on both sides until they turn golden brown and crispy.
10. Once done, remove the tikkis from the pan and serve them hot with a side of green chutney and some freshly sliced onions.
