4.      In a mixing bowl, squeeze out the grated potatoes and radish (squeeze thoroughly).

5.      Now add into the egg mixture. Mix well.

6.      Take oil in a shallow pan, over medium heat. Not much of a oil is needed. Just sufficient enough for shallow frying the potato rounds. (cover the bottom of the pan with oil. This should be enough for shallow fry).

7.      Now the frying part ! Take small amount of mixture on your greased hands and give it a flattened round shape. Gently place it into the pan and shallow fry it.

8.      It takes approximately 3 to 4 minutes each side. The done rounds are golden brown crisp and the inner potato shreds are soft and mushy.

* Eggs can be replaced by 2 bread slices. Dampen the slices a bit and squeeze out excess water. Crumble the bread and mix it with the potato-radish mix.
