Veg Cutlet

This is the first recipe that i learned to make other than rice. Its from my friend Tahsneem's  home that i first had homemade cutlets.Her mother was a good cook and she knew many recipes to make and i loved eating them. I learned her recipe and even tried them at my home, it was a huge success.But now 10 years later i forgot the exact ingredients. This is how i make it nowadays and it comes out good even thought not good as the ones i had from Thasni's house.

Ingredients Makes 12 Cutlets
Potato - 2 medium ones
Carrot grated - 1 medium (100 gms)
Peas - 50 gms (If fresh, cook them separately)
Onion chopped - a small piece
Green chilly chopped finely - 5 gms
Ginger chopped finely - 5 gms
garlic chopped finely - 5 gms
Garam masala - 1 tsp
Amchur - 1/4 tsp
Rusk powdered- 5-6  (You can use bread crumbs also)
Egg whisked- 1
Salt
Oil - 1 tbsp + for frying

Pressure cook the potatoes - max 2 whistles
Peel and mash the potatoes well
Heat oil in a pan and add green chilly, ginger, garlic and onion one by one.
Add the peas and carrot and let it get cooked (frozen ones get cooked within 5 mins)
Now add the garam masala, salt and amchur and let it get cooked.
Once the veggies are cooked well, add the mashed potato and mix well into the spice and veggies mixture.
Make 12 balls out of this mixture and keep aside.

You can either deep fry or shallow fry the cutlet
Heat oil for frying in the pan.
Dip one ball in the whisked egg and roll it in the rusk powder and fry it till it gets a dark brown color (Take care not to burn it)
Do the same with rest of the mixture
You can add any type of vegetables for this. As i had used potato the most, my cutlets were very soft inside.

Serve hot with ketchup

Happy Eating!!!
