Veggie Patties

It is becoming increasingly difficult to think of something to cook for dinner everyday. As I am trying to cut down on meat consumption (my goal is to alternate-2 days of veggie, one day of meat) it is even harder to come up with vegetarian dishes/meals. Of course, there are plenty of dishes out of there, but very few I can actually cook with limited culinary skills, especially after my few 'fails' for the past couple I am treading the water carefully. 

Over the weekend as I was deciding what to make, I Googled "veggie dishes" and came across suggestions to make patties. I did not have all the ingredients to "follow" a specific recipe, therefore I made own version of veggie patties. 

These were simple and easy to make, there was no fuss involved. These veggie patties would make great appetizers (smaller portion) or afternoon snacks. 

Ingredients: (makes 12 patties)

15 oz of Garbanzo beans
4.5 cups of mixed veggies
3 eggs
breadcrumbs
1 tsp ginger & garlic paste
1 1/3 garam masala tbsp
1/3 cup cilantro
1/2 tsp black pepper 
Salt
Oil Olive

Method

First, boil veggies (add the garbanzo beans when the water starts boiling). After straining, move the veggie in a large bowl and roughly mash. Add the ingredients:1 lightly beaten egg, 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs, ginger garlic, garam masala, cilantro, and salt. Mix well and let it sit for few minutes.

Form the mixture into patties.  Whisk 2 eggs in a bowl, and in a separate plate pour a layer of breadcrumbs. Dip the patties in eggs, covering both sides, and then coat both sides with breadcrumbs, and fry until golden brown.
