WHAT TO SERVE WITH BROCCOLI FRITTERS?

You can serve these broccoli fritters with green chutney made of mint and coriander leaves or as a side with steamed fish, grilled chicken, or scrambled egg.

Such a type of snack plate lunch is quick to assemble and provides little children with an opportunity to try new textures and flavors on the plate.

MEAL PLAN IDEAS

When I am planning to include broccoli patties in school lunch boxes, I usually make the patty mix the night before to save time and refrigerate it overnight.

In the morning, I remove them 20 minutes before I plan to fry and coat them with some roasted semolina and then shallow fry them.

These patties are filling, and easy to make and most children enjoy eating patties, so less fuss around vegetable consumption for you.
