• 0.5 cup, finely chopped Green beans
• 0.5 cup, boiled and mashed Green peas
• 1 medium-sized, finely chopped Onion
• 3 tablespoons, finely chopped Cilantro
• 1 small, finely chopped (optional) Green chili
• 1 teaspoon, grated Ginger
• 4 tablespoons Gluten-free chickpea flour (besan)
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 4 tablespoons (for shallow frying, adjust as needed) Cooking oil

Directions

Step 1

Boil the potatoes until soft, peel, and mash them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain and chop them finely. Add them to the mixing bowl along with the grated carrots and mashed green peas.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a small pan. Add the chopped onion, ginger, and green chili (if using). Sauté until the onion becomes translucent. Let it cool slightly and add it to the vegetable mixture.

Step 4

Mix in cilantro, salt, ground cumin, garam masala, and turmeric powder. Combine everything well.

Step 5

Add chickpea flour to the mixture to help bind it, and shape the mixture into small, flat patties or ovals.

Step 6

Pour gluten-free breadcrumbs onto a plate and coat each patty evenly by pressing both sides into the breadcrumbs.

Step 7

Heat the remaining oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the cutlets in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side till golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Serve hot with chutney, ketchup, or yogurt dip as desired.
