Ingredients

• 3 medium-sized (boiled and mashed) Potatoes
• 1 large (grated) Carrots
• 0.5 cup (finely chopped) Green beans
• 0.5 cup (boiled and mashed) Green peas
• 1 cup Bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons Cornflour
• 1 teaspoon Ginger-garlic paste
• 1 finely chopped (optional) Green chili
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh coriander
• 0.5 cup (for shallow frying) Oil
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Boil and mash the potatoes, ensuring there are no lumps. Set aside.

Step 2

Blanch the chopped green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, grated carrots, blanched green beans, mashed green peas, and ginger-garlic paste.

Step 4

Add cumin powder, garam masala, red chili powder, chopped green chili (if using), salt, and chopped fresh coriander. Mix well to form a uniform mixture.

Step 5

In a small bowl, make a slurry by mixing cornflour with 1/4 cup of water. Stir until smooth and lump-free.

Step 6

Divide the vegetable mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into small oval or round patties.

Step 7

Dip each patty into the cornflour slurry, ensuring it is well coated, then roll it in bread crumbs for an even crust.

Step 8

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, shallow fry the cutlets in batches until golden brown on both sides. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 9

Remove the cooked cutlets and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve hot with ketchup, mint chutney, or yogurt dip as a side.
