Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of garam masala to the spice mix.
- If you don't have a heart-shaped cutter, simply make small round patties.
- To make the patties ahead of time, prepare them up to the frying stage and store them in the refrigerator. Fry them just before serving.
- Feel free to experiment with other vegetables. Zucchini, bell peppers, or spinach would be delicious additions.
