Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 2 medium Carrots
- 15 pieces Green Beans
- 0.5 cups Green Peas
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 small, finely chopped Green Chilies
- 1 teaspoon, grated Ginger
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Coriander Leaves
- 1 cup Bread Crumbs
- 0.25 cup Chickpea Flour (Besan)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam Masala
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
- 3 tablespoons (for cooking, plus extra for shallow frying) Oil
- 0.25 cup (for binding if needed) Water
Instructions
Start by washing and peeling the potatoes. Boil them in a large pot of water until they are tender and can be pierced easily with a fork. Let them cool before mashing.
In another pot, boil the carrots, green beans, and green peas until soft. Drain and chop the carrots and green beans finely.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
Add the chopped onion, green chilies, and ginger to the pan. Sauté until the onions are soft and translucent.
Add the boiled and chopped vegetables to the pan along with red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Cook the mixture for 3-4 minutes to combine flavors, then remove it from heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the sautéed vegetable mixture. Add chopped coriander leaves and mix thoroughly.
Take a portion of the mixture and shape it into a flat patty or oval cutlet. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
In a small bowl, mix the chickpea flour with a little water to make a thin batter. Place the bread crumbs on a plate.
Dip each cutlet into the chickpea batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Then roll it in the bread crumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Shallow fry the cutlets until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. Drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Serve warm with dairy-free chutneys, ketchup, or a side salad.
