Veg Fritters


Ingredients: Makes 7-8 Patties
1 small potato, boiled and chopped into fine pieces
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup peas, boiled
Bunch of coriander leaves roughly chopped
7 tablespoon gram flour / besan
2 ½ tablespoon corn flour
Salt to taste
Red chilli powder to taste
1/8 teaspoon Black pepper powder
Pinch of asafoetida
¼ teaspoon soda bicarb
Water to make the batter, around 8 tablespoon.
Oil to shallow fry each patty.

Recipe:
In a bowl add flour, cornflour, soda, spices and water. Whisk everything nicely so that no lump remains. Leave it aside for 5 minutes after which whisk again rigorously. The more you whisk the softer patties will be. Point to note here is that consistency should not be very thin or thick. It should be somewhat like a cake batter. 
Add all the veggies, coriander into the batter mix gently with a spatula. And leave it aside for around fifteen minutes for veggies to get marinated. The outcome now will be a thick batter with veggies.
What makes this recipe different from pakoras is that more batter and lesser veggies are used in making pakoras, where as in this batter is less and veggies are more making it more delicious.
After the marination, in a pan add little oil. Remember these needs to be shallow fried as all the veggies are already cooked. Scoop one large spoon batter into the pan, fry it for around 3 minutes on each side till they turn brown. Take them out and serve them with hot with cold hung curd dip seasoned as per your taste buds. J

Note:
Alternatively you can use refined flour to make these too.

Also add as many different veggies as you can think of. This is a perfect way to make your kids eat veggies in a hidden way.
