When I talk about Nashta, Have you followed my #MTCchaiNashta Series? If you love teatime snacks as much as I do this is a must follow recipe series on the blog. Super easy to make these crispy Indian snacks are delicious too. Follow the simple step-by-step process to make this crispy Potato sooji veggie squares.

Also, As I am talking about semolina, other crispy semolina/sooji snack you can make is savoury Semolina pancakes,  Sooji aur chawal le Pakore. If You want another cheesy Potato snack recipe these Potato Triangles and Potato Pancakes are totally a potato snack you must try.

The base of these veggie squares is vegetable Upma. I make them with different spices though. I have added the veggies that were in my fridge. You can pick your favourite vegetables and add them. Only suggestion here is do not opt for vegetables that release a lot of water after cooking and remain soggy. I avoid cabbage capsicum etc. You can even add paneer or tofu for protein as well.

And we haven't talked about the best thing yet 🙂 These delicious veggie snack squares are crispy but these are not deep fried. I have pan fried them. You can shallow fry or air fry as per your liking.

These delicious semolina and potato snacks are a perfect snack for parties or even festivals. You can make them in advance and keep in the freezer. Shallow fry them only when you are ready to serve them. You can cut them in any shape of your preference.

For me, these delicious and crispy snacks with potato are perfect for tea-time or breakfast. BTW these Soft Aloo Paratha is another potato recipe for breakfast that you must totally try.

Potato and Semolina Cutlets - Recipe Notes

• To make perfect shaped veggie squares one has to saute all the veggies first to dry out any moisture from veggies and cook them.
• Roast the sooji/semolina along with the veggies to remove the raw flavour.
• When the sooji is cooked switch off the heat and then add boiled mashed potatoes, coriander leaves, cheese and other ingredients.
• Since I refrigerated the semolina and veggie mixture prior to frying I used butter paper to spread the mixture evenly.
• You can always use a flat surface or a plain plate brushed with oil to spread the mixture evenly.
  Apply oil on your hands before flattening the mixture.
