Savory Vegetable Patties

Savory Vegetable Patties

Ingredients:

• 3 large potatoes, peeled and boiled
• 1 carrot, grated
• 1/2 cup green peas, cooked
• 1/2 cup corn kernels
• 1/2 bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped (optional)
• 1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1-2 tablespoons water (if needed)
• Oil, for shallow frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
   • Mash the boiled potatoes in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
2. Prepare the Vegetable Mixture:
   • Add the grated carrot, cooked green peas, corn kernels, chopped bell pepper, chopped onion, green chilies (if using), and chopped coriander leaves to the mashed potatoes.
   • Add the ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Form the Patties:
   • Add the breadcrumbs to the mixture to help bind the ingredients together. Mix well.
   • If the mixture is too dry, add a little water to help it come together. If it’s too wet, add more breadcrumbs.
   • Take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into a patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
4. Coat the Patties:
   • In a small bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with a little water to make a thick paste.
   • Lightly coat each patty with the flour paste.
5. Fry the Patties:
   • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties in batches and shallow fry them until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
   • Remove the patties from the skillet and drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
6. Serve:
   • Serve the savory vegetable patties hot with your favorite dipping sauce or chutney.

Tips:

• You can customize these patties by adding other vegetables like spinach, beetroot, or zucchini.
• These patties can be served as a snack, side dish, or even as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
