Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Vegetable Mixture

Watch at 0:13

In a large bowl, add 1 Tbsp grated carrot, 1 cup chopped spinach, 1 medium-sized grated potato, 1 chopped red chili, 1 small-sized chopped tomato, and 1/2 cup sliced onion.

Step 2: Add Spices and Oil

Watch at 0:31

To the vegetables, add 1 Tbsp coriander seeds, red chili flakes to taste, 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder, 1 tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp cumin powder, 1/4 Tbsp carom seeds, salt to taste, and 1/2 Tbsp oil.

Step 3: Mix Ingredients Thoroughly

Watch at 0:47

Mix all the ingredients well until they are thoroughly combined. At this stage, you can optionally add grated cabbage and mix it in.

Step 4: Form the Batter

Watch at 1:44

Add 1/3 cup wheat flour to the mixture and mix again until the flour is well incorporated. Gradually add a little water as needed and mix well to form a thick batter with a flowing consistency.

Step 5: Shallow Fry the Fritters

Watch at 2:22

Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a hot pan over medium-low flame. Take about 1 big Tbsp of the batter and gently place it into the hot oil, flattening it slightly with a spatula to form a fritter. Repeat this process to make multiple fritters, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Shallow fry both sides until they turn light brown and crispy, cooking on medium-low flame.

Step 6: Serve Hot

Watch at 4:12

Once the fritters are golden brown and cooked through, remove them from the pan and place them on a serving plate. Serve hot with mint sauce or your preferred chutney.

Pro Tips

Adjust the amount of red chili flakes according to your spice preference.

Cook the fritters on a medium-low flame to ensure they cook through evenly and become crispy.

For an added crunch and flavor, you can optionally include grated cabbage in the batter.

Recipe Variations

Add grated cabbage for extra texture and nutrients.

Experiment with other vegetables like grated zucchini or finely chopped bell peppers.
