Poha Nuggets Recipe: Crispy And Healthy Monsoon Snack

The ideal combination to enjoy during the monsoons is crispy nuggets and a steaming cup of tea. You can simply prepare some delectable nuggets at home with only a few simple ingredients, such as poha, potatoes, onions, capsicum, peas, and a few spices. These nuggets may be made with only 2 tablespoons of oil, so there's no need to deep fry them and make the snack especially fatty. We've coated the nuggets in breadcrumbs and dunked them in a cornflour slurry to make them crispier. You can skip this step if you don't have any breadcrumbs. When frying the nuggets, tuck a little slice of cheese inside to give them a hint of cheesiness. To make the nuggets healthy, serve them with tomato ketchup and mint chutney.
