Crispy Vegetable Potato Cutlets
Ingredients:
- 3 large potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 1/2 cup boiled peas
- 1 small carrot, grated or finely chopped (optional)
- 1/2 cup cooked sweet corn or finely chopped capsicum (optional)
- 1 green chili, finely chopped (optional)
- 1/2 tsp grated ginger
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 1/2 tsp red chili powder (or paprika)
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- Salt to taste
- 1–2 tbsp corn flour or all-purpose flour (for binding)
- 2 tbsp breadcrumbs (plus extra for coating, optional)
- Oil for shallow frying
Instructions:
- Prep the Filling:
In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, peas, carrots, corn, ginger, green chili, and all spices. - Bind It:
Add cornflour and breadcrumbs. Mix until the mixture holds together. If it feels too soft, add more breadcrumbs. - Shape the Cutlets:
Divide the mixture into equal portions. Shape into oval or round patties. - Coat (Optional):
For extra crispiness, coat each patty in dry breadcrumbs. - Cook:
Heat oil in a pan. Shallow-fry the patties on medium heat until golden brown and crispy on both sides. - Serve Hot!
Serve with ketchup, green chutney, or garlic sauce.
Tips & Variations:
- Add grated cheese inside for a cheesy surprise.
- You can bake or air-fry them instead of shallow frying.
- Spice it up with a dash of chaat masala or lemon juice.
