Notes
- Use the juice squeezed from the grated beets in the slurry of the cornflour, all-purpose flour mixture to get a nice pink or maroon color
- Refrigerate the patties after dipping them in slurry and coating them with breadcrumbs before cooking so they are all bound together. It is not necessary but makes it easier to handle.
- They can be cooked just before serving so they are crisp and hot.
- Boil and cool the potatoes and other veggies used so they are easy to handle when forming patties.
- Serve the patties with ketchup or mint chutney. They can also make a great veggie burger with buns, sliced onions, cucumber, and tomatoes.
