I guess, a lot of people grow up with an aversion towards vegetables. I have seen moms trying all her skills to make kids eat veggies daily. Well, it’s not only kids who run away from vegetables; many grownups avoid fresh vegetables simply because they often lack taste
It is a very handy recipe when you are trying to finish up the vegetables lying in your fridge. These vegetable cutlets are lot healthier than the deep fried ones and they have a wonderful taste.
Ingredients:
- Finely chopped beans-1cup
- Finey chopped carrots-1/2cup
- Green peas-1/2cup
- Boiled and mashed potatoes-1cup
- Finely chopped onion-3/4th cup
- Red chilli powder-1/2tsp
- Black pepper powder-1/2tsp
- Turmeric powder-1/4tsp
- Chat masala-1/2tsp
- Chopped corriander leaves-1tbsp
- Salt-to taste
- Oil-to shallow fry
- Bread crumbs
- Eggs-2 or (4 tsp Maida (all purpose flour) made to a thick paste with sufficient water)
Method:
- Boil all the vegetables with a little water until tender. I prefer cooking it in the microwave.7minutes on high power should do the job. Drain water
- Heat oil in a pan.
- Add the onions, salt and sauté till transparent.
- Add the veggies and continue to sauté till soft.
- Add turmeric, chilli powder, chat masala,pepper powder and more salt if required
- Add the mashed potatoes and continue to sauté for a few minutes.
- Switch off stove and let it cool.
- Mash the misture lightly with a masher/wooden spoon.
- Add coriander leaves, bread crumbs and a beaten egg. (Vegetarians can avoid the egg and increase the quantity of bread crumbs instead)
- From this mixture, roll out small balls and pat them to the shape of cutlets.
- Dip each cutlet in beaten egg mixture and drop these cutlets in a plate filled with bread crumbs.(vegetarians can dip it into the maida solution)
- Toss it over and make sure that it is well coated with a layer of bread crumbs
- Let the cutlets sit for about 15mins.
- Heat some oil in a pan sufficient for shallow frying.
- Fry these cutlets on both sides on medium low till they are well done and crisp.
- Tip: Prepare a single cutlet with coating first and fry to check if the veggies have bonded well. If the cutlet appears to be breaking off, add a little more bread crumbs to the veggie mixture.
- Serve hot with ketchup.
