Here’s a tasty recipe for Crispy Fried Green Bean Patties—crispy outside, soft and flavorful inside.
Green beans make a great base because they hold texture and absorb seasoning well.
🧆 Ingredients
- 2 cups green beans (finely chopped or lightly boiled & mashed)
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 green chili (optional, chopped)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs or gram flour (besan)
- 1 egg (or 2 tbsp flour + water for eggless version)
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder (optional)
- Fresh coriander (optional)
- Oil for frying
🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare beans
- Boil green beans for 3–5 minutes until slightly soft
- Drain and mash lightly (don’t make it watery)
2. Mix the batter
- Combine beans, onion, garlic, spices, and chili
- Add egg (or flour mixture)
- Mix in breadcrumbs until it forms a shapeable dough
3. Shape patties
- Make small flat round patties with your hands
- Press lightly so they hold together
4. Fry until crispy
- Heat oil on medium heat
- Fry patties 2–3 minutes per side
- Cook until golden brown and crispy
🍽️ Serving ideas
- With ketchup or chili sauce
- In burger buns as a veggie patty

💡 Tips for extra crispiness
- Don’t add too much water to mixture
- Use breadcrumbs for a crunchier texture
