Method

Step 1

Add in the carrots, capsicum, paneer, onion, garlic, ginger into the mashed potatoes.

Step 2

Mash all the ingredients well with your hands or a potato masher, a food processor can also be used. Mash till a subtle coarseness remains in the mixture.

Step 3

Add in the remaining ingredients except the oil and mix well. Check for salt and spice levels as per your taste.

Step 4

Shape this mixture into small lemon size balls and flatten them a little between your palms.

Step 5

Dip these flat cutlets in the beaten egg and then followed by the bread crumbs.

Step 6

Preheat a tawa or a skillet on medium heat; place the cutlets a few at a time on the skillet. Drizzle adequate oil on them and roast them on medium heat until they are crisp and browned on both sides.

Step 7


Continue the same process with the remaining cutlets.

Step 8

Serve the delicious spicy hot Mix Vegetable Cutlets along with chutney or a yogurt dip.

Tip:

  • You can add other veggies such as sweet corn, beetroot or even spring onions to vary the taste.
  • Egg can be completely avoided to suit the vegetarians. Only using the bread crumbs will also suffice.
