Ingredients

  • 2 Medium Potatoes
  • 2 Medium Beetroots
  • 1 Carrot
  • 1/2 Cup Green Peas
  • 1 + 1/2 Tsp Garam Masala
  • 1/2 Tsp Red Chili Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Coriander Powder
  • 1 Cup Bread Crumbs
  • 3 Tbsp Oil To Brush the Cutlets to avoid drying and cracks in the oven
  • Salt to Taste
  • 2 Tsp Green Chili and Ginger Paste

Instructions

  • Boil the water in a heavy bottom Pot.
  • Add Chopped Potatoes, Beetroots, Carrots, and Green Peas as shown in the photo in the steamer pot. Place the steaming pot on top of the heavy bottom Pot and close it with the lid. It will take about 10 to 12 minutes for the veggies to boil.
    If you want to pressure cook them Wash and rinse the veggies. Place them in a pressure cooker. Add about 2 Cups of water and pressure cook them for 3-4 whistles.
  • I shredded boiled carrots and beetroots using my food processor. If you don't have a food processor, you can use the hand shredder and shred the veggies. 
    Mash the boiled Potatoes separately. Now place them all in a bowl as shown in the photo. Add Garam Masala, Red Chili Powder, Coriander Powder, Cumin Powder and Salt. Also, add green chili and ginger paste. 
    Now add 1/2 Cup of Bread Crumbs and give it a mix. I needed almost a little less than a cup to make a dough ball from the mix. 
  • Line a Baking Sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven at 375 F.
    Before rolling your Cutlet veggies in a ball, taste it. Add the spices according to your taste if you feel something is less. Once you feel the perfect taste roll it into a ball.
  • I used a Heart Shaped Mold to give them a heart shape, but you can give them any shape you like. 
  • Roll them into Bread Crumbs and Place them 2 cms apart on the baking tray. 
  • Before placing the cutlets in the oven brush them with some oil to avoid drying and cracks in your cutlets. 
    Bake them at 375 F for 20 mins on each side. Serve them hot with Coriander and Mint Chutney, and Ketchup.
  • You can also Shallow Fry them. The steps remain the same. Add 2 cups of oil in a flat pan and let it heat and add the cutlets. this will take about 10 mins.
