Notes:

• You can also add your choice of vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli, beetroot, and soya chunks. But use cooking method for each.
• Instead of shallow frying, you can also deep fry.
• Make sure the water is strained well and the vegetables are moisture free.  
• If the mixture becomes too watery or loose, it will become difficult to hold shape and will absorb oil when shallow frying. So make sure its thick. 
• Breadcrumbs can be made using a bread. Dry toast the bread in a tawa or microwave. Once it turns hard, pulse it for a few seconds in a food processor. You will get fine bread crumbs. Breadcrumbs are easily available in super markets.
