“What’s for dinner?”

It’s that one question that you always ask one another a few hours before dinnertime.

Most of the time, you’d even end up ordering fast food because you don’t want to cook elaborate meals, or you’re tired of the same meals.

Here are the simple steps on how you can create these vegetable muffins:

First, wash your vegetables and let them dry. Then, get your zucchini, cut out the edges, and grate it. You don’t have to remove the skin.

Put your grated zucchini in a bowl and put some salt. Let it steep. This step will remove the excess water from the zucchinis.

Drain your zucchini and place them in a larger bowl. Then add your Semolina flour and milk. Mix well and set aside.

You can do the same with your potato. Wash and peel it first.

Then, go ahead and grate your potato and then put it in a bowl. Let it rest.
