Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized, boiled and mashed Potatoes
- 1 medium-sized, finely grated Carrot
- 10 finely chopped Green beans
- 0.5 cup, cooked Green peas
- 1 teaspoon Ginger paste
- 2 finely chopped Green chilies
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Coriander leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Chat masala
- 1 teaspoon, or to taste Salt
- 1 cup, for binding and coating Bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons, for slurry Water
- for shallow frying Oil
Instructions
Boil and mash the potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
Steam or blanch the grated carrot, green beans, and green peas until tender. Add them to the mashed potatoes.
Mix in ginger paste, green chilies, coriander leaves, red chili powder, garam masala, chat masala, and salt. Combine well until the spices are evenly distributed.
Add 2-3 tablespoons of bread crumbs to the mixture and knead gently to bring everything together. The mixture should hold its shape when formed into a ball. Adjust with more bread crumbs if necessary.
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into cutlets (round, oval, or flat discs).
Prepare the slurry by mixing all-purpose flour with water in a small bowl. It should have a thin, smooth consistency.
Dip each cutlet into the flour slurry, ensuring it is coated evenly, then roll it in bread crumbs to coat completely. Repeat for all cutlets.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and shallow fry the cutlets in batches until golden and crisp on both sides. Drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Serve hot with green chutney, tamarind chutney, or ketchup as a snack or appetizer.
