           Traditionally, Rosti is prepared with potatoes. However, in this recipe, I have added some grated bottle gourd, carrot, radish and chopped capsicum, besides other basic everyday ingredients. The binding was that of semolina and yoghurt. So any veggies sitting in the fridge can be made use of. 

           You can substitute eno fruit salt for 1/4 tsp. of baking soda. The end result will be just the same. To some up, a healthy dish for kids, especially, who are averse to eating veggies. 

• 1 cup semolina
• 1/2 cup yoghurt
• water as required
• 1/3 cup grated bottle gourd
• 1/3 cup grated carrot
• 1/3 cup grated radish
• 1/3 cup chopped capsicum
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 tsp. grated ginger
• 2 green chilies, chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped coriander leaves
• 1/4 cup chopped spring onion
• salt to taste
• 1/2 tsp. turmeric powder
• 1/2 tsp. roasted cumin powder
• 1 tsp. cumin seeds
• 1 tsp. red chili flakes
• 1tsp. eno fruit salt
• oil to shallow fry
• raita, any dip, chutney or pickle to serve

          In a large bowl, add all the ingredients (except eno and oil) and give it a mix. Add water as required and make a semi solid batter of pouring consistency. Cover and keep aside for 15 minutes. Then mix well again and adjust the consistency by adding more water if necessary.

          Just before making the rosti, add eno fruit salt and 2 tbsp. water. Gently combine everything well to make a frothy batter. 

          Heat some oil / butter in a small pan and drop a ladle full of the prepared batter and spread uniformly.

          Cover and cook on a low to medium flame for 2-3 minutes or till one side is well browned. Gently flip it over and cook the other side too, till crisp and golden. 

          Transfer to a serving plate and then prepare similar rostis with the remaining batter. 

          Serve them hot with raita, dip, chutney, sauce or pickle for a healthy breakfast / snack. You can also pack them for a lunch box meal or serve as an after school snack for kids.
