How to Prepare

Boil and mash the potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Add grated carrots, chopped beans, and boiled peas to the mashed potatoes.
Mix in grated cheese, breadcrumbs, cornflour, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Combine well to form a dough-like mixture.
Shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
Prepare a coating by mixing additional breadcrumbs on a plate. Roll each ball in the breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Deep fry the balls in batches until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with mint chutney or ketchup.
