Ingredients
3 piece Bread
1 cup Milk
2 Potato (boiled)
1 tsp Pepper Powder
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Oregano
2 Green Chilli (finely chopped)
1 tsp Cumin Powder
1 tbsp Coriander Leaves (chopped)
3 tbsp Cornflour (Cornstarch)
1 Egg
as needed Bread Crumbs
For frying Oil
1 small Cheese
Instructions
1
Break three pieces of bread into small pieces. Soak them in 1/2 cup of milk and set them aside.
2
Thoroughly mash two boiled potatoes in a mixing bowl.
3
Add 1 teaspoon of pepper powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of oregano, two finely chopped green chilies, and 1/2 teaspoon of cumin to the mashed potatoes. Mix well to incorporate the flavors.
4
Incorporate the soaked bread pieces and 1 tablespoon of chopped coriander leaves into the potato mixture. Add 3 tablespoons of cornflour to help with binding and mix everything until it reaches a smooth, dough-like consistency.
5
Take a portion of the dough, roll it out evenly, and trim the edges to create a clean shape. Cut the mixture into bite-sized nugget portions. (Optional: You can insert a small piece of cheese inside each nugget before sealing it for a cheesier version.)
6
Beat one egg in a bowl. (If you prefer to avoid eggs, use a slurry made of cornstarch and water instead).
7
Dip each nugget into the beaten egg mixture, then coat it thoroughly with breadcrumbs to ensure a crispy texture. For extra crispiness, you may double-coat by repeating the egg and breadcrumb process.
8
Fry the nuggets in medium-heated oil until they turn golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, you can bake them in an oven at 180°C for 20 to 25 minutes.
9
Once golden, remove from heat and serve hot with your favorite dip.
