Ingredients

Potatoes: 2 medium

Carrot: 1 bowl

Green peas: 1 bowl

Chopped onions: 1 bowl, Coriander leaves: 1 bowl, Chopped green chillies: 2 or 3

Chat masala: 1 tbsp

Chopped ginger: 1 tbsp

Bread powder: 1/2 bowl

Corn flour and maida (all purpose flour): 2 tbsp each mixed in 6 tbsp water

Salt: As required

Oil: To fry

Procedure

Step 1: Boil and Mash the Vegetables

Begin by boiling the carrots, green peas, and potatoes separately until they are tender. Once boiled, peel the potatoes and carrots, then mash them thoroughly to ensure a smooth mixture.

Step 2: Combine Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed carrots, potatoes, and green peas. Add 1 tablespoon of chat masala, 1 tablespoon of chopped ginger, and salt to taste. Mix all the ingredients well to ensure an even distribution of flavors.

Pan Frying Method

Step 1: Shape the Mixture

Take a small portion of the vegetable mixture and shape it into round or desired flat coins. Ensure that the coins are flattened slightly to promote even cooking.

Step 2: Coat with Bread Powder

Evenly coat each shaped coin with bread powder or bread crumbs. Make sure to roll the coins to cover both sides thoroughly. Note: If bread powder is unavailable, you can use suji or Bombay rava (semolina) as an alternative.

Step 3: Preheat the Pan

Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a pan and preheat it over medium heat. Ensure the oil is evenly heated before adding the coated coins to achieve a crispy texture.

Step 4: Fry the Coins

Place the coated Vegetable Gold Coins in the pan and fry them on both sides over low flame for about 5 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

Oil Frying Method

Step 1: Prepare the Mixture

Take a small quantity of the vegetable paste and form it into small round balls. Ensure they are uniformly sized for consistent cooking.

Step 2: Dip in Corn Starch Mixture

In a bowl, mix a little salt with 2 tablespoons of maida (all-purpose flour) and 2 tablespoons of corn flour. Add 1/4 cup of water to create a smooth batter. Dip each coin-shaped ball into this corn starch mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 3: Coat with Bread Powder

After dipping, coat the balls evenly with bread powder to ensure a crunchy exterior once fried.

Step 4: Fry to Golden Brown

Heat oil in a pan over high flame. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated Vegetable Gold Coins and fry them until they achieve a golden brown color, ensuring they are crispy and cooked through.

Remove the fried coins using an oil strainer and place them on oil-absorbing cooking paper to drain any excess oil.

Serve the Vegetable Gold Coins hot :)
