BeetRoot-SnakeGourd Kola Urundai

Generally kola urundai,means for non-veg.But here is a simple idea recreate the same using veggies.This kola urundai is a small ball shaped fried dish,which could be served with your rice and also can be taken alone as a snack.It tastes yummy,really.Even though i have made it more than a couple of times,this time i have combined two veggies and made this wonderful  dish out of them.Instead you can also make this dish with a single veggie,either beetroot or snake gourd.

This is a perfectly yummy dish to munch.Tastes better when its hot.
