This Sunday was dedicated to bike maintenance. I had a few tasks to tend to on my Himalayan, which my son was using, so I took care of its routine upkeep. There was quite a bit to do to make it ride-ready. By the time I finished, it was late afternoon, and later that evening, India vs Pakistan played in a T20 match. I decided to make some Vegetable Patties. I hadn’t prepared a tasty snack like this in a while, and it would be perfect to enjoy during the game, since dinner was just simple Sabudana Khichdi and Potato Puris (I’ll share the recipe soon). The Vegetable Patties are very easy and straightforward to make. As with other recipes, feel free to use any vegetables you like.
