Veggie Masala Patties
What it is
These are pre-formed patties made from a blend of vegetables and aromatic spices, often including ingredients like peas, carrots, potatoes, and a mix of Indian spices such as cumin, coriander, and turmeric. They are designed for quick and easy preparation, offering a flavorful vegetarian option for meals. The texture is typically firm enough to hold its shape during cooking, with a savory and slightly spicy taste profile.
How people cook with it
These patties are a versatile ingredient that can be incorporated into a variety of dishes, providing a convenient way to add flavor and substance.

To cook, you can pan-fry the patties in a little oil over medium heat until they are golden brown and heated through, which usually takes about 5-7 minutes per side. Alternatively, they can be baked in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crisp and fully cooked. They can also be air-fried for a similar crispy result. Ensure they are heated thoroughly before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to plain vegetable burgers, these patties are distinguished by their inclusion of a specific blend of Indian spices, giving them a more complex and aromatic flavor. This masala seasoning provides a distinct taste that sets them apart from simpler vegetable patties.
