Vegetable cutlets

Keralites admire Indian coffee House cutlets.  Cutlets are yummy snack for a hungry school kid as well as an unavoidable starter for a christian wedding feast in Kerala.  Today am trying a vegetable cutlet. You can add vegetables of your choice in this recipe.
Preparation time: 30 mins
No of servings: 10 nos

Ingredients

Potatoes -2 nos boiled
Onion -1 no chopped
Carrot - 1 no chopped
Green peas -1/2 cup cooked
Ginger garlic paste - 1/2 tbsp
Salt to taste
Oil as required for frying+ 1/2 tbsp
Curry leaves*- 1 strand
Breadcrumbs - 1 heaped cup powdered
Corn flour- 3 tbsp
Water- 1 cup

Method
Heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a pan and add ginger garlic paste.
Add onion and salt. Saute till they are golden brown in color.
Add green peas and carrots and slightly cook them.
Once the veggies are cooked, add green leaves and  boiled potatoes. Smash the potatoes and mix it with the veggie mixture.
Allow the veg mix to cool a bit and then divide them into 10 equal portions. Flatten them into desired shapes.
Make a thick batter with flour and water. Dip the flat veggie mix in the batter and then coat it with bread crumbs.
You can freeze the cutlets in refrigerator at this stage for 3-4 days. Bring them to room temperature before frying.
Heat oil required for frying the cutlets. Fry only till, the outer coating is brown in color. We don't need much time for that as the vegetables are already cooked.
Serve the Yummy hot cutlets with sliced onions and ketchup for a perfect 'Indian coffee house' effect.
 
PS:-
  • I used a 250 ml standard measuring cup.
  • *- instead of curry leaves you can also use 1/2 cup coriander leaves chopped.
  • I used coconut oil, you can use any refined oil.
  • Instead of corn flour batter, you can also use egg white for binding.
