Veg nuggets (Veg appam)

I tried this recipe as my kids were giving me a tough time to eat vegetables like radish, turnip, knol khol, greens etc. They loved the recipe!

Ingredients:

Oats – 1 cup

Rava – ½ cup

Curd – ½ cup

Onion (big) – 1 finely chopped

Grated carrot – 2 tblsp

Grated radish – 2 tblsp

Grated knol khol – 2 tblsp (optional)

Greens / spinach (chopped) – 3 tblsp

Chillies – 2

Garlic – 2 pods

Coriander leaves

Salt – 1 tsp

Oil (to fry)

Method:

Grind the chillies, garlic, greens and coriander into a paste. Add the paste to oats and rava. Mix it well with curd and all the other grated / chopped vegetables and salt to form a thick batter. Heat oil in an Appa Kadai. (Appa kadai is preferred as it uses less oil for frying as compared to a frying pan). Pour the batter in the appam moulds using a big spoon. Fully fry them till golden brown. Reverse the balls using a spoon and fry the other side too. Serve hot with tomato sauce or chutney.
