How to Make Vegetable Gold Coin

• Chop the French beans, carrots and onions very finely.
• Boil the potatoes and mash while still hot.
• Cut rounds from the slices of bread using a cutter or a lid.
• Add enough water to the flour to obtain a slightly thick mixture (it should be of dropping consistency, thick enough to coat the gold coin).
• Now heat 6 tbsp of oil in a heavy bottom vessel.
• Put in the chopped French beans, carrots, onions, ajinomoto and green chillies.
• Cook till fairly tender.
• Add in the mashed potatoes, boiled spinach, salt, chilli sauce, vinegar and mix well.
• Fry for about 5 minutes and remove. Cool completely.
• Put about 1 tbsp of this preparation on each circular piece of bread (a bread coin).
• Dip each in the flour mixture and deep-fry in the hot oil on a medium flame until golden brown in colour.
• Serve hot.
