Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 cup Beetroot grated
- 1 Onion finely chopped, medium
- 1/2 Bell Peppers finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Coriander finely chopped
Spices and Flavorings
- 1 tsp Carom Seeds
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- Salt to taste
- 1 tsp Chili Powder optional
- 1 tsp Garam Masala optional
Dry Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Gram Flour
- 2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
Other
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the grated beetroot, chopped onion, bell pepper, and coriander leaves.
- Add the carom seeds, cumin seeds, and salt. Mix well to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the spices.
- Add the gram flour and all-purpose flour to the vegetable mixture. Mix thoroughly until a slightly sticky dough forms. This will help bind the beetroot balls together.
- Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan or deep fryer over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough by dropping a small piece of dough; it should sizzle gently.
- Shape the beetroot mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Carefully drop the beetroot balls into the hot oil, a few at a time, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Deep fry for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the crispy beetroot balls from the oil using a slotted spoon. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. This helps maintain their crispiness.
- Serve the hot beetroot balls immediately with ketchup, yogurt, or your preferred dipping sauce.
