• 3/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
• 2 teaspoons grated ginger
• 1–1 1/2 cups mixed diced bell pepper, peas, corn, carrots, and finely chopped cauliflower
• 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder or cayenne, to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon aamchur (dry mango powder) or lemon juice, to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional)

• Approximately 1/4 cup water
• 1 cooked and peeled russet potato
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (may not be necessary)
• Cooking oil, for the patties

Preparation

1. Heat cooking oil at medium heat and add cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds. Heat until the spices begin to brown, then add the ginger and mixed vegetables.
2. Cook until the vegetables start to brown.
3. Add garam masala, turmeric, red chili powder, aamchur, sugar, and salt and mix to combine.
4. Add water as necessary and cook until the vegetables are fully tender.
5. Allow the vegetable mixture to cool slightly then add in the cooked potato. Mash in the potato until a dough-like consistency is formed.
6. If necessary, add breadcrumbs and mix until you are able to form patties.
7. Cook the patties at medium heat on both sides, until brown. Use enough cooking oil as necessary to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
8. Serve the patties with your favorite chutney and toppings.
