How to make vegetable cutlet with step by step photos

1. Chop beans, carrots and potatoes to small cubes. You can also use cauliflower, beets and cabbage. I used green peas as well.


2. Steam them together until just done in a cooker or steamer. They must be soft cooked and firm but must not be mushy or soggy. If cooked in a pot, drain them up in a colander completely if any moisture is left. If the veggies have lot of moisture in them they soak up lot of oil and do not bind well.


3. Mash them well.


4. Add coriander leaves, green chilies, garam masala, cumin, ginger paste. Mix everything well.


5. Add bread crumbs. I prefer to use powdered poha. I used thick variety red poha. Even white poha can be used. It absorbs moisture from the veggies better than bread crumbs and is a healthier option.


6. Mix everything well. The mixture should be non sticky and must not be soggy. Take small portion of this and make patties.


7. Make a thin batter using 2 tbsp of besan or rice flour. Patty need not be coated with much batter, if it becomes moist it is just enough.


8. Place it on the bread crumbs. Make sure the patty is coated with bread crumbs on both the sides. You can also use coarsely ground thick variety poha or crushed cornflakes for this.


9. Repeat doing this for all the patties and place them on a plate. Leave this aside for about 5 to 10 minutes. This helps the bread crumbs to stick well to the patties.


10. Heat oil in a small pan. Shallow fry or bake them. I used 3 tsps oil for every batch of 5 patties. You can reduce this quantity to 2 tsps.


11. Flip them to the other side and fry until golden.


Serve veg cutlet with green chutney or any dip.
