Vegetable Cutlet

Vegetable Cutlet – Cutlet is a healthy snack made purely with vegetables. Though it is a fried snack, unlike other fritters cutlet does not require too much frying as the vegetables are boiled and cooked already. So cutlets provide a better nutritional supplement for kids when back from school or also after play time.

Ingredients of Vegetable Cutlet:

• Potato -2
• Finely chopped carrot, cabbage -1 cup
• Beans -5 (optional)
• Onion -2
• Red chilli powder -1 tsp
• Garam masala -1 tsp
• Coriander leaves -1 fist full
• Maida – 1/2 cup
• Bread crumps – 3/4 cup
• Salt as required
• Oil to deep fry

Method of preparation of Vegetable Cutlet:

1. Boil the potatoes, peel off the skin and smash well in a bowl. Make a paste of maida with 1/4 cup water.
2. Heat oil in a pan, fry onions till they are light brown and then add chopped vegetables and saute with salt.
3. Now add in the red chilli powder, garam masala then fry till the raw smell goes off.
4. Then Add the finely chopped coriander leaves and fry for 1 minute
5. Transfer this to the potato and mix well to make fine lemon sized balls.
6. Now dip the balls in maida paste and then spread over the bread crumps.
7. To bring the shape: Take a tumbler, then put the breadcrumbs rolled balls inside the tumbler.
8. Now take another tumbler and press the balls inside the first tumbler. Now the balls turn into cutlet shape.
9. After that, heat oil in a pan deep fry the cutlet for 3-4 minutes and serve with tomato sauce.

Note:

• If the bean is hard then do not use it, because it will not be cooked completely while frying.
• I had soft variety of beans which is thin and slender.
• Making the shape of the cutlet I learned from the cooks in a wedding function. So shaping cutlet using tumbler would be of very easy method when preparing in large quantities.
