Weekend we had a nasty climate and i was craving for something deep fried to enjoy along with a cup of coffee, i immediately prepared this cute looking deepfried balls using some frozen broccoli florets ,quick cooking oats and poha along with mashed potatoes..Eventhough its deepfried, i cant say that this crispy balls arent that much healthy also its wonderful to see when kids enjoying this mini balls without any hesitation for their snacks..It was quite thrilling and excited to see all these deep fried balls gets vanished very much quickly even when its still hot..We just loved it..These crispy beauties are my 3rd day post of blogging marathon, do check my other buddies wats they are cooking for this 3rd day here...
2cups Broccoli (grated)
2nos Potatoes (cooked & mashed)
1cup Poha
1/2cup Gram flour
1/4cup Quick cooking oats (grinded coarsely)
Few curry leaves
1tsp Ginger (grated)
1tsp Fennel seed powder
2nos Green chillies (chopped)
1no Onion (chopped)
Salt
Oil for deepfrying
Few coriander leaves
Soak the poha in hot water, strain the poha..now take the grated broccolis,mashed potatoes, coarsely grounded oats, poha,gram flour,chopped coriander leaves, grated ginger, fennel seed powder, green chillies,chopped onions,few curry leaves,salt and turn everything as thick paste..
Heat oil for deep frying, make small balls from this mixture and drop gently to the hot oil, fry until these balls turns brown in colour, strain the excess of oil with a paper towel.. Enjoy warm..
