Veg. Cutlet

Since long I wanted to prepare this but for some reason couldn't. When I used to remember all vegetables required wouldn't be there when all vegetables are there I wouldn't remember to prepare this. But...this time I prepared it on the same day as I got all required vegetables:)


I have shallow fried the cutlets to reduce the calorie content. 
You can serve them with Burger bun or you can make Cutlet Chaat. 


Preparation time: 20 min
Cooking time: 5 min


Serves: 11-12 Cutlets


Ingredients: 


2 Medium sized potatoes Boiled and mashed
10-12 French beans
1 Carrot grated
1 Beet root grated
2 slices of bread
salt to taste
1 Tsp Coriander powder
1 Tsp Cumin powder
Red chilli powder to taste
pinch of Turmeric powder
1 Tsp corn flour
3-4 Tsp Bread crumbs powder


4-5 Green chillies, Grated Ginger,2-3 Garlic Cloves. Make a paste of these ingredients.


Procedure:
  1. Boil potatoes in cooker till soft and once cool down mash them well.
  2. Chop French Beans finely. Put chopped beans,grated beetroot,grated carrot in a container.Just sprinkle water on vegetables but do not pour water.Pressure cook for 1 or 2 whistles depending on your pressure cooker. But cook vegetables soft enough to get mashed well.
  3. Once all the vegetables are boiled well and cooled enough mash them in mixer.
  4. To these mashed vegetables add mashed potatoes, chilli-ginger-garlic paste,salt,cumin powder,coriander powder,red chilli powder,turmeric powder,corn flour.
  5. Mix well and make a tight dough. 
  6. prepare cutlets in the shape you wish. Either like patties or oval shaped also.
  7. Heat up oil on a frying pan.
  8. Roll the patties/cutlets in Bread crumbs powder and shallow fry them on both the sides.

  •  If the ground mixture of vegetables become little wet, add the bread crumb powder to this mixture and then just prepare cutlets and shallow fry them.
  • Proportion of vegetables ans potato is almost 1:1 if you have 1 cup boiled vegetables take 1 medium potato. 
  • You can add green peas, corn,onion to cutlets
