Vegetable Cutlets
November 16th, 2007 filed under Appetizers, Vegan
Vegetable cutlets are great blend of vegetables and spices. These are great as an appetizer, afternoon snack with tea, or as a side dish with dinner.
Recipe makes 10.
Ingredients:
- 2 medium potatoes
- 1 cup chopped mixed vegetables (green peas, carrots, green beans, corn)
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (green coriander)
- 2 finely chopped green chilies (adjust to your taste)
- 1 teaspoon chopped ginger
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to your taste)
- 1 teaspoon mango powder
- 3 tablespoon All Purpose flour (plain flour or maida)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Oil to fry
Method:
- Boiled the potatoes until they are tender.
- Once cooked, drain the water and let the potatoes cool down.
- Peel the skin off and mash the potatoes.
- Steam the chopped mixed vegetables.
- Make sure to squeeze the vegetables to take the excess water out and Pat dry.
- Mix all the ingredients togather; adjust salt and pepper to your taste.
- Add 4 tablespoons of water to the All Purpose flour to make a batter and keep aside.
- With oiled hands, divide the mixture into 10 equal parts.
- Shape into flat round patties about 1/2 inch thick.
- Dip each patty in the flour batter, and roll the patty in breadcrumbs and set aside.
- Heat the oil on medium high heat in a frying pan.
- Frying pan should have atleast 1 1/2 inch of oil. To check if the oil is ready, put one drop of batter in the oil, the batter should come up right away.
-
Fry a few cutlets at a time until they are golden-brown on both sides.
-
Repeat this until all the cutlets are done. Serve hot.
Tips:
- If the oil is not hot enough, the patties will break.
- If the vegetable/potato mixture looks wet, you can add some breadcrumbs.
- You can always change the shape of the cutlets to your desired shape.
Serving suggestions:
- Vegetable cutlets are best when dipped with Cilantro chutney, or tamarind chutney.
- Vegetable cutlets also make great veggie burgers, adding cheese lettuce, tomatoes, chutney or ketchup.
yeah i also want to know how to make breadcrumbs
hi aunty i wanna know how to make breadcrumbs . i searched it and found that they use oven.i dont have oven so how can i make it.
Auntie,
I made a simpler version with just potatoes and then I fried them – the first 4-5 turned out beautifully, but then the rest just fell apart. I know above it said if the oil is not hot enough they will break apart, but I did not change the setting of the heat. I also did not use any bread crumbs or flour but I did mix in cornstarch. Any tips? Thanks.
Hi AJ,
Before doing the second batch you should have waited for a minute so oil is heated again next time try this should help.
Wow, the cooking way of this dish is great, I’ll try it later and I hope it tastes delicious. Just one suggestion: If you add some cooking pictures it will be easier to follow!
hi aunty how to make breadcrumbs with breads & can we shallow fry the cutlets instead of deep frying it.
I love your recipes
Hi manjula ji,

Dear Aunty,
I have seen this video and wanted to try.
I have a doubt. Instead of deep frying can we semi fry. Put some oil on tava and fry it(like a chapathi).
Please let me know
padmini
nice recipie
Thanks once again from Baton Rouge, Louisiana! My girlfriend and I cooked a light meal for one of our vegetarian friend’s birthday party, and everyone loved all of the dishes! We made these vegetable cutlets and also your masala french fries, only we baked both recipes to cut out a bit of the oil. Also, we served some of your hari chutney on the side, and it really brought it all together wonderfully. So thank you for all of your hard work, it is very much appreciated!
