Box PattiesBox patties, the name itself rings in your ear, doesn’t it?
You must be wondering is it a box or a patty ;) The unique and interesting name is because of the way the these patties are folded and made, like wrapping a box.
The recipe is sooo sooo easy and simple that definitely it’s worth trying. This is one snack which is liked by kids as well as elders. If you don’t agree with me just tell your kids, “Today I am planning to make Box Patties”. I am sure this one line from you will bring a broad smile on their faces. And it will push you to your kitchen to try out this recipe.
And if you want more reasons to make them, well, I have plenty of them ;)They are-
-Easy and quick to make
-Ingredients are commonly available in our kitchen
-Delicious
-Just a little tweak here and there is required get a new twist every time to this recipe.
-Equally good as an evening snack, lazy weekend breakfasts, party appetizer or for your kids tiffin too.
The best part is if you have fussy kids at your place who are reluctant to eat veggies, you can hide the veggies in these patties and you are guaranteed to see empty tiffin boxes.
To make these box patties, vegetables mixed with some basic spices which are easily available in your kitchen are stuffed inside the samosa patty sheets, rolled in an interesting way and shallow fried. You can even bake them if you are not a big fan of fried food, and keep your preparations towards the healthier side.
The preparation of stuffing is just very simple. Today I have made them with super healthy and nutritious spinach and corn with some spices. Sometimes I make them with mix veggies, potato or cottage cheese too.
