Evening snack has to something really interesting for kids. Don't they expect some drool worthy snacks. Kids don't care whether it's healthy, nutritious or has all the essential nutrients their body need.
The challenge is there to create food appealing to their senses, taste good and equally nutrient rich.
Well, here is a patties which match to all that we want our kids to enjoy.

Use fresh peas as it gives body, texture and volume to patties. Which is easily available during winter season.
Use good quality potato, we are not going to boil it, we will grate and mix in with other spices.
Hara bhara patties :
Method
Wash, peel and grate potato, keep aside.
Grind peas, green chillies, coriander leaves in mixer, we will make coarse paste.
Coarsely powder peanuts. Keep aside
In a bowl mix in grated potato, peas paste, peanut powder, sesame seeds, besan, red chilli powder, turmeric, garam masala, salt and use a ladle to mix in. Use hands if needed.
We are not going to add water as peas and potato has enough water, we are going to bind them with peanut and besan powder.
Keep the dough for 30 minutes. Make small patties using hands.
Pour a little olive oil in kadai, shallow fry patties until golden brown. Place them on a kitchen napkin, let it absorb excess oil.
Make a few as I am sure like my kids asked for more patties your kidoos will also enjoy the tasty, yummy patties.
These patties can be filled inside burger buns. I cut burger buns into half, placed a slice of cheese, placed a pattie, sliced onion and tomato, filled them and served. While after a bite one more pattie silently went inside the bun!!
A little mustard sauce will make it more delicious, I think!
Happy kidoos, happy mom!!
