Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 14 oz Firm Tofu
- 1 Medium Sweet Potato
- 1 Large Potato
- 1 Large Carrot
- 15 French Beans
- 1 cup Broccoli Florets
- 1 Teaspoon Salt (add more if needed)
- 1.5 Teaspoons Kashmiri Red Chili Powder
- 1.5 Teaspoons Coriander Cumin Powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon Turmeric
- 1.5 Teaspoons Garam Masala
- 1.5 Teaspoons Dry Mango Powder
- 2 Tablespoons Ginger Garlic Green Chilies, Minced
- 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs (add more if needed)
- 1/4 cup Avocado Oil (for shallow frying the patties)
Instructions
- Peel and boil the sweet potato, regular potato, and carrot until soft. Steam the French beans and broccoli until tender. Let all vegetables cool slightly.
- Mash the boiled vegetables in a large mixing bowl. Crumble the tofu into the bowl and mix well.
- Add the minced ginger, garlic, and green chilies, followed by all the spices: salt, chili powder, coriander-cumin powder, turmeric, garam masala, and dry mango powder. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
- Add breadcrumbs gradually to bind the mixture. If it’s too wet, add more breadcrumbs until the consistency is firm enough to form patties.
- Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape into patties.
- Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Shallow fry the patties in batches until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
- Drain excess oil on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
Notes
- Press tofu ahead of time to remove excess moisture for better texture.
- You can customize the veggies based on what you have on hand.
- To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed oats.
- Great for freezing—just shape and freeze the uncooked patties for later use.
