POTATO- PEAS STAR Pattys - The perfect patty for anytime burger !

This is a quick recipe I used from time to time when my kids would clamour for something interesting to eat. Over the years our family has grown quite fond of this Peas in potato combination. It’s the perfect item that fits the bill of “Taste bhi Aur Health Bhi” (Both tasty and healthy).

It can be a side dish, a snack or even main course depending on how you use it. This can be had with a dip of your choice. You can also use the patty in sandwiches. If you make the patty big even a burger. So, you see sky is the limit 😉

Depending on your diet you can use the recipe to make other animal protein based tikkis/pattys also. Just replace the peas with item of your choice.
