RECIPE NOTES

1. I have used plain boiled kidney beans for these tikkis, but you can also use canned kidney beans for this recipe.
2. I used bread slices for making tikkis, but you can replace them with breadcrumbs.
3. I shallow fried these tikkis, but you also can deep-fry. However, if you don?t like fried food, then feel free to bake them.
4. I have added whole grain bread to the mixture, but feel free to add any other bread of your choice.
