Vegetable egg croquettes

This croquette is a sure tummy filling and has a lot of mixed vegetables ,eggs and breadcrumbs to combine it all. Its simple ingredients and i always rate this snack as one of my favorite. 

As my kids are at a threshold of hunger spike i have to make a snack for tea . I love snacking  as malabar , especially Kannur, is a huge hub for their snacks . We love preparing chai kaddis (tea snacks ) . Even kitty tea  parties are  trending in our society.  So however tedious work goes into preparing kaddis , every party will be loaded with new varieties. 

These egg and vegetable croquettes  are spicy treat especially when u have guests coming around . Either way my kids love anything thats just tastes  cutletty 😉.
