Notes
- Make sure the potato mixture should not have too much moisture in it. Otherwise while deep frying it may break in oil or will absorb the oil.
- The oil should be hot otherwise the potato nuggets will soak the oil and it will become oily.
- Do not overcrowd the oil while frying the potato nuggets.
- The consistency of the cornflour batter should be thin and free-flowing. Do not make a thick batter.

- Also, after putting the nuggets in hot oil, do not try to flip it immediately as the potato nuggets may break in oil.
- Coating with breadcrumbs in important. It gives a crispy exterior to the veg nuggets. You can easily make breadcrumbs at home.
