Veg lollipop recipe | How to make potato lollipop | Veg lollipop in appe or paniyaram or paddu pan
By Latha on April 23rd, 2018
Veg lollipop recipe explained with step by step pictures and a video. Veg lollipop or potato lollipop is a very tasty tea time snacks prepared in appe or paniyaram or paddu pan. Veg lollipop is prepared using potato, capsicum, onion, carrot, ginger, red chili powder, bread and garma masala. This is a kids friendly recipe.
I have made it less spicy as it is a kids friendly recipe. So you can adjust the spice level as per your taste. You can also add chopped green chilies for extra spiciness. Very rarely I post these kind of recipes as my focus is on traditional Karnataka recipes. Saying so I have posted potato cutlet, babycorn manchurian, gobi manchurian, babycorn golden fry, curd sandwich, pasta and many more recipes.
My Son loves this type of foods. So I keep preparing them often. And since I don't prefer too much of deep fried foods, I always use paddu pan or appe pan to prepare these veg lollipops. This is a healthy version of veg lollipop as no deep frying is involved in this.

- Now add in all masala powders. I have used red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, amchur powder, turmeric powder, chat masala, garam masala powder and salt. You can replace amchur powder with few drops of lemon juice. Give a quick stir and switch off the stove. Please note, you can use the masala powders of your choice.

- Mash and mix everyhing well.

- Prepare breadcrumbs using remaining 2 bread slices. Next roll the veg lollipop balls in the bread crumbs.
- Now heat the paddu or appe pan and put few drops of oil in all the pits.
- Place the prepared balls in all the pits. Start roasting them under low-medium flame.
- After a minute flip them. Keep flipping them often and cook them well for about 5 minutes or until they are crisp from outside.
- Once done take them out, palce them in a serving plate, insert the toothpicks and serve them with tomato sauce or ketchup.
