So, five in the morning. Watching Masterchef and the contestants competing in a breakfast challenge. There are all the manner of food that you cannot get at five in the morning. So you curse at the screen and go to sleep. And the next night get the ingredients in hand and make yourself a couple of fritters to go with your Thursday night curry and rice.
This is one of my throw whatever-is-at-hand-ingredients into a plate and fry them up in hot oil. So, carrots got grated, onions got finely chopped and a lot of spices got added in. And the result is delicious, crispy mouthfuls of goodness. You can have this as a side-dish to a spicy curry or wrap them up in flatbreads with sliced onions and mayo for a quick snack or simply have them with spicy chutney as an appetizer. These nuggets are the embodiment of the title of this post.
Ingredients:
2 medium carrots
2 medium potatoes
1 regular packet of frozen peas
1/2 onion
1 chilly
1/4 block of cheddar cheese
2tbsp Red chili powder
2tbsp Coriander powder
2tbsp Garam masala
Salt
4tbsp cornflour
Oil for frying
Method:
Grate the carrots, potatoes and cheese. Mash the peas coarsely. Chop the onion and chilly finely.
Mix all of them together. Add the spice powders, salt, cheese and cornflour. Fold everything with each other well.
Heat oil till slightly bubbling. Make small balls from the mixture. Fry in batches till evenly brown. Don't worry about the color - it is supposed to be a darker shad of brown.
If you like you can sprinkle a little chat masala before serving. Serve immediately.
