Zucchini is such a versatile vegetable. It can blend in anything and everything. I make these little beauties whenever kids are in mood for a savory treat.
They are very low in calories. Zucchini itself is low in cholestrol and high in protein, Vitamin A and minerals. So it's a win win situation for me when kids ask for more every time. I had gotten this idea of tots from a fitness site and made it my own. It almost tastes like fried bhajiya's. Ever since, we all are big fan of these treats.
Ingredients:
Zucchini, grated - 1 1/2 cup
Onions, chopped fine - 1/2 cup
Potato - grated - 1/4 cup
Parmesean Cheese - 1/2 cup
Bread Crumbs- 1/2 cup
Eggs - 1 Large/ 2 medium
Ginger - lime size - grated
Lime juice - 1 tsp.
Salt to taste
Chili powder - 1/2 tsp

Sowmya, you can use any kind of squash.. there is yellow squash, pattypan squash, summer squash, some small pumpkin variety will be good too. Even cucumber might be close in texture, though it will taste very different. You can use peeled and deseeded eggplant (baighan) maybe. But I had read somewhere that, frozen and thawed green peas were the best substitutes.. Not sure, since I have never tried.
DeleteThey did turn out lovely.
