Vegetable Bullets

Vegetable Bullets (or vegetable fritters) are easy to make, delicious appetizers good for entertaining family and friends or as a lunch box snack!

Roll it in a roti or paratha (Indian flatbread) or tortilla with ketchup/ sauce/ chutney and you have your Katti Roll ready ?? Serve it with a salad side.

What are Vegetable bullets?

Pre-cooked vegetables are mixed together with spices and flour and shaped into ‘bullet’. These bullets are then rolled in bread crumbs and pan-fried.

You can choose your vegetables but I would stick to: Potatoes, carrots, peas and corn. The reason being, you can easily combine them and form a batter which later can be shaped into bullets!

My Story

It was during my high school, that we started to see frozen ready to eat dishes, flood Indian groceries. During a weekend grocery store visit with my dad, we purchased a ready to eat pack of vegetable bullets. It was something different and we were excited to try it! We loved it so much that we started experimenting with other kinds of ready to eat stuff.

But the vegetable bullets that we had initially inspired my mom to try it out at home. As an able ‘sous chef’ in my mom’s kitchen, I helped her with all the prepping. We tried replicating the frozen ones but realized we have come up with something excellent ?

It was well received by our family and it became a regular vegetarian appetizer at family gatherings and other get together.

After all these years, I was inspired yet again, when I wanted to eat something yummy and healthy and of course which wasn’t too time-consuming.

It’s also something versatile, you can have it as an appetizer/ snack or entrĂ©e (when you roll it up as a katti roll ?).

Nutrition

It’s often said, “Go for greens to help you stay fit”. Vegetables like fruits, are low in calories and fat but are a good source of vitamins and minerals. They are rich source of anti-oxidants, soluble and insoluble dietary fiber.

About the recipe

It’s a simple recipe which if executed well will bring you accolades ??

Boiled, mashed potatoes, grated carrots, blanched green peas, spices, corn flour, all-purpose flour (or ‘maida’) and bread crumbs (to give a crunchy exterior). Once you get your bullets, roll them in bread crumbs and pan fry.

Drain excess oil on an absorbent tissue before serving. Enjoy with ketchup, chili sauce or green chutney and a salad side.

Psst….I generally make a large batch and freeze them. ?
