Blend until you get a smooth, lump-free batter with a pourable consistency.Transfer the batter to a large mixing bowl. Fold in the chopped capsicum, carrot, onion, boiled corn kernels, black pepper powder, and fresh coriander. Mix well so the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the batter.Preheat a sandwich maker and lightly grease both plates with a little oil to prevent sticking.Once the sandwich maker is hot, pour enough batter to evenly cover one side of the mould without overfilling. Close the lid gently and cook until the toastie turns crisp and golden brown on both sides. Depending on your sandwich maker, this may take six to eight minutes.Carefully remove the toastie and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the plates with more oil if needed.Slice the toasties into halves or triangles and serve hot with green chutney, ketchup, garlic dip, or any dip of your choice. They also make a great breakfast or evening snack.Note to readers: This article is for informational purposes only. It is based on user-generated content from social media.
