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

Instructions
- 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.
- 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.

- Fry the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the patties from the pan and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
- Serve hot with a spicy dip of your choice or as a filling in a vegetable sandwich.
