Ingredients

  • Cornflour – 1 tbsp

  • Ginger-garlic paste – 1 tsp

  • Green chili – 1, finely chopped

  • Salt – to taste

Execution

1. Prepare Mixture

  • Mix boiled vegetables + bread crumbs + cornflour + ginger-garlic + green chili + coriander + salt & pepper.

  • Knead into a dough-like mixture.

2. Shape Cutlets

  • Divide into small portions → flatten into round or oval shapes.

  • Roll lightly in bread crumbs for crispiness.

3. Fry

  • Heat oil in a pan → shallow fry cutlets on medium flame until golden brown on both sides.

  • Drain excess oil on paper towels.

4. Serve

  • Serve hot with tomato ketchup or green chutney.

Additional tips

  • Make sure the vegetable mixture is dry, else cutlets may break.

  • Chill shaped cutlets for 10–15 mins before frying for better binding.

  • You can add cheese or boiled corn for extra flavor and crunch.
