How to pan fry spinach broccoli fritters?
- Heat a non-stick tava or skillet on medium flame.
- Once the skillet is hot, place the patties based on the size of the pan, drizzle oil only if needed, and cook on low flame for 4 minutes or until the bottom becomes golden brown.Coconut oil
- Flip and cook on the other side for another 4 minutes or until golden brown. (It is essential to cook the patties on medium to low flame so that they become crispy on the outside and are cooked from the inside. Do not cook them in a hurry. Also, once you place the patties, you can cover the skillet with a lid)
- Repeat the process for the remaining patties.
- Serve hot with our almond cilantro chutney sauce, and enjoy.
Notes
- The cooking time will vary based on how thick your patties are and the flame's intensity.
- You can also add one boiled and mashed potato for easy binding.
- Vary the spices as per your taste.
- You can add onion and garlic cloves for extra flavor if desired.
- I have added gluten-free oats to my recipe.
- Use a non-stick skillet if you are not going to drizzle any oil while pan-frying. It is easier to handle.
- Feel free to add parmesan or mozzarella cheese while making the dough.
- You can even combine broccoli with some cauliflower.
