Notes

  • In this recipe instead of mashed potatoes, we are using sooji. The same way we v can make many recipes like sooji fingers /sooji veg cutlet etc instead of mashed potatoes use cooked sooji.
  • Fry on a medium flame – not low or high.
  • Instead of cheese, you can add grated paneer or you can add both.
  • If the mixture is loose, you can add some rice flour.
  • You can add Indian masalas instead of mixed herbs or chilli flakes.
  • Instead of chilli flakes, you can add red chilli powder or green chilli.
  • To make perfect shaped veggie squares one has to saute all the veggies first to dry out any moisture from veggies and cook them.
  • Roast the sooji/semolina along with the veggies to remove the raw flavor.
  • When the sooji is cooked switch off the heat and then only add coriander leaves, cheese, and other ingredients.
