Method:

• Place the mashed potatoes in a large bowl.
• Boil peas and corns for 10-15 min, let them cool, and then coarsely grind peas and sweet corn in a blender.
• Add all ingredients together and knead them well to form a dough like consistency. Put few drops of oil in your palm and apply on dough as well.
• Make 2 equal size ball and press it with fingers to spread evenly to form 8mm thick disc, apply oil if required.
• Now with the help of a cookie cutter cut them all in different shapes.
• Heat the oil in a pan/kadai, i used canola oil.
• Deep fry 7-8 pieces at a time, fry them for 5-6 min evenly from both the side, turn the side in between. Drain excess oil and transfer them on kitchen paper.
• For a healthier option choose air fryer, brush oil on love bites and place them into preheated air fryer container for 5 min each side on 180℃.
• Serve with hot & sweet tomato sauce.

Note: 1. Taste best when deep fried, shallow frying gives different texture, so i always prefer baking or airfrying using just a brush of oil.
2. It is important to mash or grind peas and sweet corn otherwise it would splutter/burst during deep frying & it might cause harm.
