Hi guys!!
Hope you are all well.
Back with another super yummy and crispy vegetable nuggets recipe.
I am very thankful that my little one is not very fussy about food and eats everything I give him. Yes from lentils, veggies, pasta, rice, noodles.. everything. But the fruit department is a bit like me (not very fond of fruits or sweets). He likes spicy food so I really do not have to cook anything separately for him. Such a blessing!!
But some days he does give me a hard time, toddler afterall. So I hop on to make this crispy and crunchy nuggets which I know he loves. And what not to love it is immensely delicious and fried after all. KFC Style Veg and Paneer Strips is loaded with various spiced vegetables like potato, bell pepper, carrots, corns, green peas and paneer (Indian cottage cheese) with melting cheese inside. Oh so good!!
