If watching movie is entertaining to the mind, equally entertaining to your taste buds are the snacks that we munch on while viewing our favourite movie.
Whether you watch movie in a cinema hall or in your living room, one thing is common…. That is snacks.
Though I love to watch movies in cinema hall but there, the choice of food is limited as you don’t want to spend a painful amount of cash for those boring, tasteless snacks that they offer.
In cinema hall, my choice of snack is popcorns and cold drink, while my daughter wants nachos or chips and my son likes burger (I’m amazed how can he eat that boring tasteless burger there, while at home he become a big critic 😏) My husband wants nothing (because those useless snacks are boring a hole in his pocket😂😉). So, when we plan to watch a movie or a cricket match together, I make it a point to make some quick snacks that all of us love and have some filling also so that I need not to make lunch/dinner afterwards.

This week, in blogging marathon, I opted to participate with theme ‘Movie Time Munchies’ that I’m hosting as well as Kid’s Delight Event. For the first day, I made Zero Oil Masala peanuts and my today’s post i.e. for 2nd day is Oil Free Chana Tikka Burger that I made using air fryer. If you don’t have air fryer, you can make it in oven or roast tikkas on non stick tawa. But if you don’t mind calories, can fry it in the oil as well. By the time, I decide my recipe for the third day of blogging marathon you make and enjoy my oil free chana tikka with your favorite movie

Healthy burger.. I pan fry the tikkis as I don’t have an air fryer.
Yummy Burgers. You are so right. A movie without snacks. Not possible. These look so good. No oil.. No guilt.
Protein rich burger patti. The burgers must have made a nice snack while watching a movie.
Love the idea of chana tikka… the burger format will be well accepted by kids too…
Yummy and healthy burgers!! I love to use chickpeas in my veggie burgers…gives it a lovely texture! Awesome share!
Oil free and burgers!! Wow! It is really worth trying. Though I don’t have air fried, I can try this in a regular way.
I know how kids are so funny and different at different places. Waiting for the government to allow outside food in the Cineplex.
Such a healthy share. Looks lovely. I always roast on tava ..
Love the oil-free burgers, they look scrumptious and delicious, Ritu 🙂
Whenever we go to a movie my kids want popcorn even before we enter the theater…these channa tikkis sounds interesting and looks delicious
I am so going to make this for my older one. Looks very appetizing.
Chana tikka! Now how creative is that! The burger looks awesome but I’m sure I’ll enjoy the patties just as much on its own with tea.
What a protein rich , delicious and guilt free treat !
Oil-free burgers sound delicious, great for lunch or picnic too.
Chana tikka looks so perfect and i love your oil free series. Guess that chana tikka itself serves as a perfect appetizer.
wow I love this chana tikka recipe. These days I have started making street food at home. Planning to buy this air fryer. Really a great way of saving oil and cook with less or no oil.
Even I don’t like eating in theatre. This no oil chana tikka burger looks like worth trying even watching movie.
Wow burgers will be a great choice for movie time snacks!..and making those tikkis oil less is so healthy!..i am still planning to get one for myself..
I dont have an air fryer but regardless those tikka sound like a very tasty version
Super delicious and tempting burger.. looks so healthy too.
Channa tikka burger looks absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. This is one healthy and oil free snacks great for evening snacks.
Nothing can be healthier and tempting than this , a dream come true for weight watchers, awsome share .
A very healthy burger and that too non fried. Delicious
Wow,just feel like grabbing it.Burgers are really tempting and the healthy version of tikki is great. One can enjoy these without any guilt:)Thanks for sharing .
Hard to resist to this burger, and am in love with those oil free channa tikka, well done Ritu. Such a guilt free dish to indulge without any fuss.
Definitely a must try when its about zero oil. If I don’t have airfryer can i bake them in oven?
Yeah, you can do that. Apply some oil on the top otherwise it will get dried too much
The chana tikki burger sounds so delicious and your oil free version makes it all the more desirable !
Can never say no to these, that to when it is made healthy. Nice one.
Brilliant use of the air fryer. I like the flavours you have used in this burger.
