preparation for veggie nuggets

While the potatoes are still warm, peel and then mash with a fork or potato masher.

Now add the cooked green peas, minced or grated or finely chopped carrots, finely chopped capsicum to the mashed potatoes.

Add all the spices and herbs. Season with salt too.

Then add 3 tablespoon slightly roasted besan and 1/4 cup grated processed cheese. You can also add corn starch or rice flour or all purpose flour instead of besan.

Mix very well and then add 1 to 2 tablespoon of the ground oats.

Mix again very well. Check the taste and add more salt or spices if required.

Now make a flat log shape and slice the log into nuggets.

You can even take a small portion of the mixture and shape in to nuggets. Keep aside.

In another bowl, take 2 tablespoon besan and 2 tablespoon water.

Mix very well to a smooth paste. Instead of besan (gram flour) you can take half-half of all purpose flour (maida) and corn starch. You can also take rice flour or maize flour.

Take each veggie nugget and dip in the gram flour batter.

Gently turn over so that the gram flour batter coats the nugget. Remove and let the excess batter drip off.

Now place the batter coated veg nugget on the ground oats.

Gently turn and coat with the oats all over including the sides. Alternatively you can even sprinkle the oats all over the nugget.

Do this for each veggie nugget and keep them aside.

Heat oil for deep frying in a pan or kadai.&nbsp;

When the oil becomes hot, gently slid the nuggets in the oil.

Do not overcrowd the nuggets in the kadai or pan.

Fry till they are golden and crisp. Remove the nuggets with a slotted spoon.

Keep them on kitchen paper towels so that extra oil is absorbed. Fry the remaining veggie nuggets in batches.

Serve these veggie nuggets with any chutney or sauce or dip.
