Peel and boil the potatoes until soft. Mash them in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
Finely chop the carrot and green beans. Boil or steam them along with the green peas until tender. Let them cool slightly.
Add the cooked vegetables to the mashed potatoes. Mix well to combine.
Add the coriander leaves, green chili, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper powder to the vegetable mixture. Mix thoroughly to bring all the flavors together.
Form the mixture into small, elongated finger-shaped logs. Set them aside on a tray or plate.
In a small bowl, mix corn flour with 3 tablespoons of water to create a smooth slurry.
Dip each veggie finger into the corn flour slurry, ensuring it is coated evenly.
Roll the dipped veggie finger in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to coat it fully. Repeat with the remaining veggie fingers.
Heat oil in a deep pan or wok over medium heat. Test the oil's temperature by dropping a small piece of the mixture into it; it should sizzle and rise to the top immediately.
Fry the veggie fingers in batches, ensuring you do not overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried veggie fingers using a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Serve hot with ketchup, mayonnaise, or any dip of your choice. Enjoy your crispy and delicious Veggie Fingers!
