Mushrooms, though am a great fan of this edible fungus, my lil one is a complete hater. However i dont forget to feed him with this antioxidant rich mushrooms which is quite low in fat and calorie. I know adding those mushroom chunks with his favourite vegetable, he just cant discard them, hence i opted for our favourite batata vada. Batata vada is quite a popular street food which is quite known for their deep fried outer layer with a delicious potato masala inside. I have made my own twist by adding finely chopped mushrooms to the usual potato masala to dish out some ultimate Mushroom potato fritters. And i opted for Appe pan aka Paniyaram pan just to avoid deep frying.
Am running this week's blogging marathon with Kid's Delight - Veggies sneaked in, seriously i love this theme. Yes its not an easy task to feed vegetables to kids na, and being a mom of three i always confronted this situation. However i always overcome this situation just by adding my kid's favourite ingredients just to feed them easily. Coming to this Dhingri aloo batata vada, its quite an interesting snack food to make and feed your kids easily especially when they are back to home after a long day at school. Mix and match with your favourite vegetables or beans, and dont forget to keep potato masala as the main ingredient.

Wow! Making these in the appe pan is a neat idea. Nice way to sneak in mushrooms here.
ReplyDeleteAdding mushrooms along with potatoes is a great idea Priya. And the paniyaram pan is a nice way to avoid deep frying. Even I did the same with today's recipe.
ReplyDeleteWow! Love the idea of making it in appe pan! Must do it next time, deep frying literally gives me a heart ache... hehe... Like the idea of hiding the mushrooms, but unfortunately my elder one is another hater of mushroom and gets it how much ever I sneak it in... :/
ReplyDeleteWOW, that is a brilliant idea to sneak in mushrooms in batata vada. Love it. I am going to try this trick with my family.
ReplyDeleteAfter Gayathri now yours appe pan recipe. Looks like I am not using mine fully. fritters came out great and perfectly cooked on every corner. Adding mushroom makes it super power pack snack.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, that's a perfect way to make the kiddos eat what they hate. Fritters are looking so great.
ReplyDeleteafter making my first successful paniyaram a few days ago, I am ready to embrace all the uses of the pan and these look so good
ReplyDeletePriya, whatever theme you are on dot with a recipe for it! I think I will check the recipes for myself with you before giving up making them..these sound excellent..
ReplyDeleteThat is a brilliant idea Priya! We don't eat mushrooms but my boys love it. I will make this sometime for them.
