Veg Cutlet Ingredients

• vegetables – I have used onions, potatoes, carrots, peas and beans.
• Bread – Use wheat bread or white bread. You can also use leftover bread.
• spice powder – Red chilli powder and garam masala powder are used here.
• ginger garlic paste Ginger garlic paste is added for taste.
• Flour – Flour is mixed with water to make a solution which is used for coating cutlets.
• pieces of bread – Bread crumbs are used as an outer coating for crispiness.
• lemon juice – Lemon juice adds tangy flavor.
• coriander leaves – Coriander leaves are added to it for taste and flavor.

How to make Veg Cutlet step by step

1. Cook the vegetables with required amount of water until soft. Remove the peel from the potatoes, mash them well and add the rest of the vegetables to it. Then add finely chopped onion to it, mash the bread with your hands and mix the bread with the vegetables. Add ginger garlic paste, red chilli powder, garam masala powder, coriander and salt as required.

2. Mix well and fry in a nonstick pan adding a teaspoon of oil until the onion becomes soft and the spices give off a raw smell, which will take just 5 minutes. Switch off and cool.

3.Add lemon juice and mix well and knead the dough. Make round balls of equal size and flatten them by pressing them slightly between your palms. Keep aside. Now mix flour and water in a separate plate and make a thick paste. Now dip each cutlet in the paste in such a way that it is coated well on both sides.

4.Then wrap it with breadcrumbs as shown in the picture below. Repeat for all the other cutlets. You can deep fry them or toast the cutlets until crisp (like I did). Serve the cutlets hot with tomato sauce.

Always serve cutlets hot with tomato sauce!

Expert Tips

• You can also add beetroot to it for better colour.
• If you are making these in large quantities then you can deep fry them as it saves time.
• Those who like eggs can use eggs for coating and then dip them in breadcrumbs.
• Amma usually sautees onions, tomatoes well and then adds it to other ingredients. You can try this also because tomatoes give good taste.
• You can prepare the cutlets in advance and keep them in the fridge, and toast/deep fry them when you want to serve them hot.
• I tried it a day before guests arrived and it was good. So make sure you make the cutlets only a day in advance, not more than that, as the vegetables will spoil easily.

service and storage

Serve hot as a starter with tomato sauce or green chutney. Vegetable cutlets keep well at room temperature for up to a day. – You can store the prepared mixed vegetable mixture in the refrigerator for 2 days. Make cutlets as required and serve hot.
