Rinse and take 2 medium potatoes in a 2 litre pressure cooker. Add water just about covering the potatoes.

Pressure cook for 3 to 4 whistles on medium flame. When the pressure settles down on its own, remove the lid. Remove the boiled potatoes and let them become warm. Potatoes should be drained well.

Add the chopped veggies to the mashed potatoes. French beans, broccoli and cauliflower can also be added.

Add all the spice powders (mentioned above) and also add salt as per taste

Then make small balls from the mixture. Do not make large balls as then it does become difficult to fry them. For ease of frying, make small balls. Keep aside. do check the taste of the mixture and add more salt and spice powders if required.

Add 2 tablespoons water. Mix to a smooth batter without lumps.

Take ½ cup bread crumbs in a plate. You can also take rava or crushed corn flakes or crushed oats or white sesame seeds

Now take each ball and dip in the gram flour batter. Coat it well with the batter.

Now place the ball on the breadcrumbs. coat it evenly with the breadcrumbs. do the crumb coating with all the veggie balls

Frying Veg Lollipop

Heat oil for deep frying in a kadai or pan. When the oil becomes medium hot, gently place the ball in it.
