Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra flavor, marinate the vegetable mixture for 30 minutes before shaping the patties.
- If you don't have poha, you can substitute with cooked quinoa or breadcrumbs for added texture.
- Adjust the amount of chili powder to control the spiciness of the patties.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the patties; fry them in batches to ensure even browning and crispiness.
