VEGETABLE CUTLET

This recipe has been handed down from my mother. One bite of it takes me back to my childhood.

Ingredients:

2 potatoes boiled
1/2 carrot grated
1/4 beet root grated
1 tbsp coriander powder
1/2 tbsp cumin powder
1 tbsp chaat masala
1/2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp red chilli powder
salt to taste
oil for frying
3-4 tbsp corn flour
1/4 cup milk
1 cup bread crumbs

Preparation:

• Boil the potatoes and mash them.
• Add salt, red chilli powder, garam masala, chaat masala, cumin powder, coriander powder and mix them well.
• Now add the grated carrot and beet root and mix them with the mashed potato.
• Heat about 2 tbsp oil in a frying pan. Add the mashed mixture to it and fry it for about 5-6 minutes.
• When the mixture cools down, take handful of the mixture and make oval patties out of it.
• In a flat bottomed bowl mix corn flour and milk In another plate take the bread crumbs.
• Now dip the patty in the corn flour-milk mixture and then roll it in the bread crumbs. To make a crispier cutlet dip it again in the corn flour-milk mix and roll it again in the bread crumbs.
• Heat oil in frying pan. Shallow fry the cutlets.
• Serve them hot with onion rings, cucumber slices and ketchup.
