Ingredients
Vegetables
- 4 Potatoes medium-sized, peeled and chopped
- 1 Beetroot medium-sized, peeled
- 2 Carrots medium-sized, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup Corn Kernels fresh or frozen, thawed if frozen
- 1 Onion finely chopped, medium-sized
Cheese & Spices
- 6 cubes Cheese cheddar or your preferred melting cheese
- 1 tsp Ginger Paste
- 2 tsp Chili Powder
- 1/2 tsp Mango Powder amchur, dry
- 1/2 tsp Salt black
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp Pomegranate Seeds for garnish, optional
Coating
- 2 tbsp Rice Flour
- 1 tbsp Semolina suji
- 1/2 cup Water for rice flour paste
Frying
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions
Prepare the Vegetables
- Boil the potatoes, carrots, and beetroot until tender. Once cool, peel and mash the potatoes. Grate the carrots and beetroot. Cook or thaw the corn kernels.
- Finely chop the onion.
Combine Ingredients
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, grated carrots and beetroot, corn kernels, and chopped onion. Add the grated cheese, ginger paste, chili powder, dry mango powder, black salt, and salt. Mix well.
Prepare the Coating
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the rice flour and water to form a smooth paste.
Shape and Coat the Croquettes
- Take a portion of the vegetable mixture and shape it into a small, oval croquette. Dip the croquette in the rice flour paste, then roll it in semolina to coat evenly.
- Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Fry the Croquettes
- Heat oil in a deep pan or wok over medium heat. Carefully add the croquettes to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan (fry in batches if necessary).
- Fry until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally, for about 3-4 minutes per side.
Serve
- Remove the croquettes from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel to drain excess oil. Garnish with pomegranate seeds (optional). Serve hot with your favourite dipping sauce.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Croquettes
- For extra crispy croquettes, let the coated croquettes rest for 15-20 minutes before frying.
- Don't overcrowd the pan while frying; this will lower the oil temperature and result in greasy croquettes.
- Adjust the spice levels according to your preference. Add more chili powder for extra heat or less for milder flavor.
- Experiment with different cheeses! A blend of cheeses can create a more complex and flavorful filling.
