  • Mint leaves- 2tbsp
  • Salt-for taste
  • Oil- for shallow frying

Directions:

  • In a mixer jar add blend coriander, mint, green chilli and peanuts to paste without adding any water.
  • Add ground coriander/mint paste to the squeezed mooli and mix well (Adding Oats helps to remove excess water in Mooli) and divide the stuffing into 7-8 equal portions.
