Vegetable Potato Pancakes

I went to the Saturday market and saw this huge light green vegetable. It was called Dudhi. My market vendor said it could be used in a stir fry. Never had it, but for $2.50 it doesn't hurt to try it.
Dudhi is in the same category as zucchini. It's like a nutty flavored squash with huge white seeds. The skine is thin and edible.
I LOVE potato pancakes. So, decided to do a vegetable version chocked with dudhi, red onion, carrots and herbs. This isn't your mom's potato pancake, and its awesome!

Vegetable Potato Pancakes
3 cups of dudhi, grated
2 potatoes, grated
1 carrot, grated
1/2 red onion, grated
2 cloves of garlic minced
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp basil
1 egg, beaten
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper

Mix all the vegetables together. Mix the flour and spices, pour over the vegetables. Add egg and a little water till just combined, like a thick paper maché paste. Cover the bottom of  a medium pan with canola oil over a medium heat. Spoon mixture into pan and fry on each side till golden brown.
