Vegetable Cutlet

I learnt to make cutlet from my mother-in-law. Though it looks simple, when we put the cutlets in the oil most of the time it gets scattered in oil which makes the whole attempt messy. I have tried many times and only once it succeeded. But the final result was really good. So i thought of sharing this recipe with my friends.

Ingredients

Boiled and cubed potatoes - 3
Sandwich bread - 6
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Meat masala - 1 tsp
Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp
Chopped green chillies - 2 tsp
Chopped corriander leaves - 2 tsp
Bread crumbs - 1 cup powdered
Salt - as required
Oil - as required for deep frying

Boil the potatoes and cube them.


Now mash the potatoes to a fine paste. Cut the sides of the bread.



Now mix the all ingrediants other than oil and bread crumbs to the mashed potato and mix well.(You have to do it thouroughly otherwise salt won't be even in the mix. It's always better to do this with hand)



Now take one bowl of water. Dip the bread slices in it and squeeze the water out.
Mix this with potato mix well.(In this stage you can add little bit corn flour also if you want to the mix to bind the ingredients well)Be careful while doing this so that the potato mix and bread are mixed well without lumps.For doing this the bread should not drip water.So squeeze out the water well from the bread slices. Now make the bread potato mix into thick flat shaped cutlets. You can make it into any shape of your choice. Roll them in the powdered bread crumbs.



Now heat oil in a kadai and deep fry the cutlets carefully without breaking them.
I warn whoever try this, if u break the cutlet while frying then it will be really a mess. I feel like crying if this happens...:-)



Once the cutlets become dark brown in color lift them from oil and transfer to tissue paper to absorb the excess oil.



You can serve them hot with tomtato sauce or green chutney.
Note : If you want to make non-veg cutlets you can mix minced meat with potatoes and make the cutlets.
