Recipe for Vegetable Cutlets

Ingredients

  • Potatoes - 2, boiled, peeled & mashed
  • Peas - half cup, microwaved for 4-5 mins with water, coarsely mashed
  • Carrots - 2, peeled & grated
  • Beetroot - 1, peeled & grated
  • Onion - 1, minced
  • Ginger - half inch piece, minced
  • Garlic - 2 to 3 cloves, minced
  • Mint & Coriander leaves - 1 handful each, washed and chopped
  • Chilli powder - about 1 tsp
  • Shakthi Curry Masala Powder - 1 to 2 tsp (or to taste)
  • Bread Crumbs - about half cup (optional, used as required)
  • Salt - to taste
  • Oil - 1 tbsp + 2 tsp
  • For coating
  • All purpose flour (maida) - half cup
  • Milk - half cup
  • Bread crumbs - about 1.5 cups

Cooking Directions

Heat a tbsp of oil in a pan, and toss in the onion, ginger & garlic. Fry this till transparent and softened.

Now add the grated carrots, beetroot with a bit of salt and stir for a few minutes before covering it and reducing the flame so the veggies sweat it out and soften a bit. Keep stirring every once in a while until the veggies are tender.

Add the chilli powder, curry masala powder & salt and after a few minutes, the mint & coriander leaves are tossed in as well.

Next the mashed potatoes & peas are stirred in and cooked until the mass combines and the flavours are mixed in uniformly. If you feel that the mixture is not firm enough, please stir in upto half a cup of breadcrumbs to lend more texture.

Allow this to cool a bit before making equal sized balls out of the mixture... these can then be shaped to your desire.. i made heart shaped patties reminiscent of my athai''s cutlets which I enjoyed as a kid.
For the coating, put separate bowls of milk, flour & a plate of bread crumbs (I ran several slices of whole wheat bread in a mixie to get soft bread crumbs).

Preheat oven to 350F, coat a cookie sheet/baking pan with some oil and keep aside.

Dip each cutlet first in milk and then in flour, followed by a quick dip in milk again and then rolled into bread crumbs. Lay these carefully on the baking sheet, repeat till done.

Cook these in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping over once in between.

Just before serving, heat a tava and spread a tsp of oil or so evenly, place the cutlets and let them cook on both sides (i had to do this in 2 batches - hence the 2 tsp of oil in the ingredient list)... till golden brown and crisp. Enjoy with ketchup.
