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.
Hello, Manjula. These look very tasty. What type of oil do you use for frying? Thank you.
I like canola oil
Use lemon juice if you don’t have mango powder.
Hi Auntie,
Its been long since I have posted any comments, not that I hadn’t been trying yr wonderful recipes.
Offlate I have tried your Kadai Paneer Cutlet, Saffron rice recipes. Except for safron rice the others came out well. Saffron rice flopped bcos I had been hesitant to add the required amount of sugar:-)
Today I made Palak Paneer, haven’t tasted it yet but am sure it will b delicious. I have added butter instead of the cream other than that I have mostly followed your recipe.
Thanks for your effort and please teach us more recipes. Will be glad if you can post pav bhaji, veg manchurian.
Warmest Regards

Dear Aunty!
All of your recipes are really looking good and yummy too. Thank you very much for taking so much effort to make these recipes. I am going to make this for my 15 month old toddler.
Helo aunty,
Your receipe is good, traditional, however this is a perfect receipie for incresing weight, too many calries, I have tried making the same using Oven, may not be as tasty or as attractive in looks, however cuts the fat content by 60%, would advice you to levrage Oven and Microwave to give alternatives to deep frying in your recipie…..this wil immensely attract the youths, withouth depriving of taste they can ensure the same tradiational food at low calories
Look here under the VEGAN category and you will find the recipe for “Upma” which is made from sooji.
Hi Aunty
i had been looking for a sojee recipe and I had come across your website. Could you please share a sojee recipe with me. I will not be making a very large quantity. Approximately between 500g and 1kg of semolina or tasty wheat.
I await your response.
Thanks and kind Regards,

Breadcrumbs can be either purchased pre-packaged at the grocery store or you can make your own. Get 2 or 3 slices of white bread and cut off the crust. Put the bread into a food processor and let the blade spin for several seconds and you will have breadcrumbs.
It’s nothing fancy, just bread that has been turned into very fine crumbs.
