Ingredients
- Beetroot - 1 big
- Potatoes - 2 medium
- Onion - 2 medium
- Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
- Chilly powder - 1 tsp
- Salt - to taste
- Garam masala - 1/2 tsp

- Amchur powder - 1/2 tsp
- Corn flour - 1 tsp
- Bread slices - 4
- Sooji / rava - to coat patties
- Water - to cook veggies
Method
- Peel and boil beetroot and potatoes with salt and water. Cook until half done, strain water, and grate it.
- Grate onions and add to grated beet and potatoes
- Add all the spices one by one and mix well
- Add corn flour and crumbled bread and mix well
- Leave aside for 5 minutes so that the bread will absorb the moisture and the dough will be easy to shape into patties
- Make patties of desired shape and size
- Roll them over the Sooji and coat all over
- Shallow fry in a hot pan
- Serve hot with ketchup
My Notes
- You can also shallow fry without coating in sooji
- If there is more moisture in the dough add few more bread slices. It will help to bind the dough well and make them into desired shapes.
