Instructions:
-
Peel the potatoes 🥔 and boil them until they’re soft and mashable. Once done, mash them finely in a mixing bowl.
-
Add in the grated carrot, green peas, and grated beetroot 🥕🌿. Mix everything together thoroughly.
-
-
Take the bread slices 🍞 and dip them in water for a few seconds. Remove and gently press to drain excess water.
-
Add the bread slices to the potato mixture. The soaked bread adds a delightful texture to the cutlets.
-
Now it’s time to add in the spices! Sprinkle in the red chili powder, garam masala powder, and salt 🌶️. Adjust the spice levels to your liking!
-
Toss in the finely chopped onion, coriander leaves, and minced garlic cloves for an aromatic boost.
-
Squeeze in the fresh lime juice 🍋 for a tangy kick that balances the flavors beautifully.
-
Mix everything together until you have a uniform mixture. This is your flavorful cutlet base!
-
With clean hands, shape the mixture into small, oval cutlets. You can make them bite-sized or larger, depending on your preference.
-
Prepare the coating for the cutlets. Take some breadcrumbs on a plate. Roll each cutlet gently in the breadcrumbs until they’re evenly coated.
-
Heat oil in a pan for shallow frying 🍳. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the cutlets in the pan.
-
Fry the cutlets on medium heat until they turn golden brown and crispy on both sides. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes per side.
-
As the cutlets fry, let’s whip up some fresh green chutney 🌿 to accompany them!
-
In a blender or grinder, combine the coconut, green chilies, garlic cloves, coriander leaves, and a pinch of salt. Blend until you have a smooth, vibrant chutney.
-
Once the cutlets are crispy and golden, remove them from the pan and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
-
Your Vegetable Cutlets are now ready to serve! 🎉 Arrange them on a platter with a generous serving of green chutney and some tomato ketchup 🍅 on the side.
-
Garnish with some fresh coriander leaves for an extra burst of flavor and a lovely pop of color.
-
Serve these delightful Vegetable Cutlets as a snack, a starter, or even as a light meal. They’re perfect for gatherings, weeknight dinners, or whenever you’re craving something crispy and delicious! 😋
Tips:
- Variations: Feel free to customize these cutlets with your favorite veggies! Peas, corn, bell peppers, or even spinach can be great additions.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the cutlet mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it. This makes for quick and easy frying when you’re ready to serve.
- Baking Option: If you prefer a healthier alternative, you can bake these cutlets in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Freezing: These cutlets freeze beautifully! After shaping them, place on a tray lined with parchment paper and freeze until firm. Then, transfer to a freezer bag. When ready to eat, simply fry or bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
