Sooji Veggie Squares
sooji Veggie Squares is the New Indian popular tea time snack that is perfect for light eating.. It is easy and super crispy ball that is made with semolina and healthy veggies and is a great accompaniment.
Ingredients
- ½ cup sooji/ Semolina
- ¼ cup Onion Chopped
- ¼ cup Fresh Peas
- ¼ cup green Beans Chopped
- ¼ cup Carrot Chopped
- ¼ cup Mushroom Chopped
- 2-3 cup Water
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1-2 teaspoon Mixed Herbs
- 1 cup Potatoes boiled and mashed
- 2 Green Chillies Chopped
- 2 tablespoon Mint Leaves Chopped
- 2 tablespoon Coriander leaves Chopped
- 2 tablespoon Cheese Grated
Instructions
- Heat some oil in a pan and sweat chopped onions, then add veggies like peas, green beans, chopped carrot, mushrooms and saute the veggies for a few minutes,
- Then make some space in the pan to add semolina, now roast the semolina for a few minutes, then combine with the rest of the veggies and roast on slow heat.
- Then add water, salt to taste and season with mixed herbs. Mix well with everything and squeeze lemon juice in too.
- After the semolina and veggie mixture have become thicker, add boiled potatoes, green chillies, mint, coriander, grated cheese and mix everything.
- Let the mixture cool and flatten it on butter paper by pressing gently and refrigerate for 30 minutes, then cut this into 1 & 1/2 inch squares.
- Now heat some oil in pan and pan fry the semolina potato squares. Flip to cook & brown both the sides evenly.
- Once done, drain the excess oil & serve!
Notes
- 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 flavour.
- When the sooji is cooked switch off the heat and then add boiled mashed potatoes, coriander leaves, cheese and other ingredients.
- Since I refrigerated the semolina and veggie mixture prior to frying I used butter paper to spread the mixture evenly.
- You can always use a flat surface or a plain plate brushed with oil to spread the mixture evenly.
Apply oil on your hands before flattening the mixture.
