Introduction

Every parent knows the daily struggle: getting kids to eat enough veggies. Whether it’s the untouched broccoli on their plate or the “no” that follows whenever you suggest a new dish, ensuring fiber-rich meals can feel like a constant battle. Fiber is essential for kids—it supports digestion, keeps energy levels stable, and builds long-term healthy eating habits.

One of the easiest ways to sneak in fiber is through fun, familiar foods kids already love—like tikkis! In this blog, we’ll share a high fiber veg tikki recipe for kids that’s not only nutritious but also delicious and easy to make. And here’s the best part: when you pair it with Little Joys Tomato Sauce (sweetened with jaggery and dates, no refined sugar), you turn a simple healthy snack into a joyful, clean-label meal kids will ask for again and again.

3. Shape into 4 round tikkis (no extra water needed).

Healthy Twists: Make Veg Tikkis Even More Nutritious

1. Add More Fiber with Grains
Mix in cooked quinoa, oats, or millet flour for an extra fiber boost.

2. Sneak in Leafy Greens
Spinach, beet leaves, or even methi can be finely chopped and added. Kids won’t notice, but their tummies will thank you.

3. Bake Instead of Fry
For parents who prefer less oil, baking the tikkis is an equally tasty and healthier option.

4. Pair with Nutritious Dips
While Little Joys Tomato Sauce is a kid-favorite, you can also serve these tikkis with hung curd or hummus for more protein.

Why Fiber-Rich Snacks Are Important for Kids

It’s not just you—most parents deal with picky eating. Kids naturally lean towards carbs and sweets, often leaving out the vegetables that provide the fiber they need. Common struggles include:

• Refusal to eat “green” or “boring” veggies
• Cravings for packaged snacks over homemade food
• Lack of time to prepare complicated healthy meals

This is why recipes like veg tikkis work so well. They combine everyday ingredients, hide veggies smartly, and offer that crispy bite kids love—without parents worrying about nutrition gaps.
