Vegetable Cutlets

Vegetable Cutlet is simple, easy, delicious and healthy nutritious snack. Indian spices make this cutlet very tasty. 



Ingredients:
  • Carrot, peeled and grated- 3 (1 cup)
  • Beetroot, peeled and grated- 1 (1 cup)
  • Green peas/matar- 1½ cup
  • French beans- 100 gm (1 cup) 
  • Cabbage- 250 gm (2 cups)
  • Cauliflower- 150 gm (1 cup)
  • Capsicum, finely chopped- 1 ( ½ cup)
  • Potatoes, boiled- 3 med
  • Ginger, chopped- 1 inch piece 
  • Garlic- 8
  • Green chilies- 2
  • Fresh coriander leaves, chopped- a handful
  • Garam masala- 2 tsp (I prefer Everest super garam masala)
  • Red chili powder- 1 ½ tsp or to taste
  • Chat masala- 1 tsp
  • Salt- to taste
  • Bread slices, crumbled- 5 to 6
  • Fine Semolina (Rava)-  as required
  • Oil- as required


Method:
  • Boil potatoes and green peas. Peel and mash or grate potatoes. Remove water from boiled matar if any and mash. (I use microwave for this, because without water we can boil potatoes.)
  • Crumb or grind bread slices in the grinder.
  • Grind or crush ginger, garlic, chillies and coriander leaves without water.
  • Peel, wash and grate carrots and beetroot.
  • Wash and grate or finely chop cabbage, cauliflower and french beans. You can use food processor. 
  • In microproof large sized bowl, put grated beetroot and microwave for 2 minutes on high.
  • Put grated carrot in same bowl and microwave for 2 minutes on high.
  • Put chopped beans in same bowl and microwave for 2 minutes on high.
  • Put grated carrot in same bowl and microwave for 2 minutes on high.
  • Put grated cabbage in same bowl and microwave for 2 minutes on high.
  • Put chopped capsicum in same bowl and microwave for 1 minute on high.
  • Put mashed potatoes and peas into this bowl.
  • Add ginger-garlic-chilli paste/crush into this bowl.
  • Add chili powder, garam masala, chat masala, salt and bread crumbs.
  • Mix well and knead this dough. Divide into lemon sized balls. If you have difficulty then add more bread crumbs to give the dough some firmness.
  • Shape them into flat patties. 
  • Heat a pan, sprinkle oil. Coat each cutlet with rava and roast on the pan till crisp and golden brown. You can deep fry also and you can use dry bread crumbs for coating instead of rava.
  • Serve hot with tomato ketchup and mint chutney. It can be used inside a burger bun as a patty.

Tips:
  • If you don't have microwave oven, boil the vegetables in minimum water. Because if water content remain in boiled veggies, cutlet become soggy.
  • You can use any vegetables which are available and your choice.
  • Adjust spices as your taste.
  • You can store this dough in deep freezer for 1 month. Keep in a airtight container.
