Vegetable and cheese patties
A delicious and easy snack to share with friends or families.
Ingredients
- 4 wholewheat bread slices ( mine were large and seeded)
- 1 large carrot, grated
- a large handful of sweetcorn
- a bunch of fresh coriander, chopped
- a large handful of grated cheddar cheese
- 2-3 spring onions, chopped
- finely chopped green chilies per taste ( optional, I didn't add any, but they go well )
- salt and pepper to taste
- some sesame seeds to roll the patties before cooking
- Oil for pan frying
For topping
- Whisked Greek yogurt
- Chopped red onion
- chopped fresh coriander
- chopped green chillies (optional)
Instructions
- Place the sesame seeds in a bowl.
- Tear the bread into pieces in a bowl and add some water over them.
- Immediately squeeze out the water and add the bread to another bowl. (You can also dip a few bread pieces at a time in a bowl of water, squeeze and place in a bowl, if you wish.)
- Add the carrot, coriander, sweetcorn, cheese, spring onion, salt and pepper.
- Mash a few sweetcorns with your hand.
- Mix together all the ingredients with a firm hand.
- Take portions of the mixture, shape into patties, roll them on the sesame seeds and arrange on a dish in a single layer. I got 12 patties from the mixture.
- Heat a little oil in a shallow and wide pan.
- Over medium high heat, add a few patties to the pan. Fit as many as you comfortably can with room to flip them over.
- Avoid turning them over too quickly, as they will break. You should be able to slide your spatula easily under them before turning them over. The bottom should have nicely browned by then.
- Turn over and cook until nicely browned on both sides.
- Keep an eye on the heat, If it is too high throughout, the outside will burn quickly; too low and the outside will not be firm enough.
- Once cooked, transfer to a dish covered with paper towels.
- Serve hot. Arrange a few on a plate and top with some of the red onion, yogurt coriander and green chillies ( I skipped them this time). For another variation, you can also spoon some mint and coriander chutney and date and tamarind chutney over them ( Both the recipes are on my blog; check notes below).
- Enjoy!
