Description

A delicious and healthy beetroot patty, perfect for enjoying with tea or as a filling in a vegetable sandwich.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 medium-sized beetroots, grated
  • A bunch of chives, finely chopped (or 1 medium-sized onion as a substitute)
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 teaspoon asafoetida (hing)
  • 1 large potato, boiled and mashed
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
  • Oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated beetroot, chopped chives (or onion), frozen peas, asafoetida, boiled and mashed potato, salt, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and red chili powder. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  2. Shape the mixture into small patties of your desired size and shape. Be prepared for your hands to get a bit messy and red from the beetroot.
  3. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the patties to the pan.
  4. Fry the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  5. Remove the patties from the pan and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
  6. Serve hot with a spicy dip of your choice or as a filling in a vegetable sandwich.

Notes

These patties can be served as a finger food at cocktail parties with a spicy dip. They are a great option for a healthy snack and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a pan before serving. You can substitute chives with onions if preferred.
