Notes

  • You can choose the veggies according to your preferences. But potato acts as binding veggie, so do not skip it.
  • Also quantity of potato should be bit more than other veggies.
  • The veggies should be cooked well otherwise you cannot make balls out of it.
  • The gram flour batter should be bit thicker, otherwise it will not coat the stuffing.
  • Adjust the spices according to your choice.
