Story Time
One day we had some guests coming over and I decided to make a full-fledged menu starting with appetizers followed by the main course and then dessert. I looked into my recipes and realized that I have no starter recipe – barely one or two. Then I decided that I have to have a collection of starter recipes on my website (and Youtube channel). I experimented with a lot of different starter recipes and so far shared hara bhara kebab which I make using many different green veggies, baked spring rolls, baked potato cheese balls, etc.
When I made these fritters for the first time, Jatin was a little skeptical about its taste. But when he had it, it was tough for him to stop. & I feel good because with this recipe you can include so many different veggies in your diet. I am going to make it again today because it is raining right now and I am craving some hot fritters and chai.

How to cook Fritters?
You can either bake these fritters or shallow fry them with some little oil. Both the methods will result in a different texture. Baked ones will be slightly drier than the shallow-fried ones. Also, the shallow fried ones will have a much crispier texture. Baked ones can be made in much less oil which is healthier and good for those who avoid extra oil. Just brush some oil on the surface of fritters and bake until golden brown.
Can we freeze them?
Absolutely. These fritters mixture can be kept in the refrigerator for two days. Refrigeration develops more flavor. If after refrigeration it has more moisture, add flour accordingly.
You can even freeze them for up to a month. Make patties and put them in the freezer on a plate. Once the patties become hard, take them out and store in the zip-lock bag or air-tight container. Put them in the freezer for a month. When you want to cook them, take them out and heat and cook on low flame as given on the recipe below.
