🔬 Why It Works
Veggie croquettes succeed when the mashed potato + cooked vegetable filling is properly seasoned and bound, then breaded and fried. The chilling step is essential for shape retention. The Indian spice blend (cumin, coriander, garam masala) distinguishes these from American potato croquettes.
