Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mustard greens (finely chopped)
- 1 cup Chickpea flour (besan)
- 1 medium Red onion (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for shallow frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped mustard greens, red onion, grated ginger, minced garlic, and fresh cilantro.
Add the chickpea flour, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all the spices are evenly distributed.
Squeeze in the lemon juice and gradually add water, a little at a time, mixing until a thick, slightly sticky dough-like consistency forms. The mixture should hold together when shaped into patties.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into round, flat patties about ½ inch thick.
Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Carefully place the patties in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Remove the cooked patties and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with your favorite chutney, yogurt dip, or as a side to a main dish.
