Deep Fry the Lollipops (8-10 minutes)
Serve Hot (1 minute)
For a non-fried option, brush the lollipops with oil and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crisp, flipping halfway through. You can also use an air fryer.
Add 1/2 cup of grated paneer (Indian cottage cheese) or crumbled firm tofu to the vegetable mixture for a protein boost.
Incorporate 1/4 cup of finely chopped mushrooms or sweet corn kernels into the mix for a different texture and flavor profile.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of red chili powder or 1 tablespoon of Schezwan sauce directly into the vegetable mixture for extra heat.

Vegetable Lollipop is a mixed bag. It's rich in vegetables, providing vitamins and fiber. However, since it is deep-fried, it is also high in fat and calories. It's best enjoyed in moderation as a treat. For a healthier alternative, try the baked or air-fried version mentioned in the variations.
This usually happens for two reasons: 1) The vegetable mixture had too much moisture. It's essential to squeeze the water out of the vegetables thoroughly. 2) The oil was not hot enough, causing the lollipops to soak up oil and fall apart before a crust could form.
