Directions
-
Cut the tofu into smaller pieces and press it to remove excess water. Leave it to drain for 15 minutes. Finely chop the radish and carrot.
-
Place the chopped radish and carrot into a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer the mixture into a bowl. Add the well-pressed tofu to the bowl and mix thoroughly.
-
Add the finely chopped green onion and green chilies to the bowl. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, a pinch of chili powder (if desired), and a splash of sesame oil. Crack two eggs into the mixture, add 1 tablespoon of potato starch, and mix lightly until well combined.
-
Heat a lightly oiled saas wala pan (or any frying pan with small compartments) over medium-low heat. Spoon the mixture into the compartments or shape small patties in the pan. Fry until the bottoms are crispy, then carefully flip with a spoon and continue frying until evenly golden and crispy on both sides.
-
Serve warm as a snack or side dish.
