Take the chopped potatoes, carrots and peas in a microwave cooker or microwave safe bowl.
Add 1 cup water and 1 teaspoon salt. Cover and microwave on full power for 13-15 minutes till all
the veggies are cooked.
Drain them now mash them with a spoon or spatula. You can also use a blender, but make
sure that the you do not make a smooth fine paste of it. Make a coarse mixture of the veggies.
Take 2 slices of bread ( you can use either white or brown bread ). Soak them lightly in water.
Now press them tightly and remove all the water. Add this to the mashed vegetables. Add the
chopped onion, ginger-garlic-green chilly paste, salt, garam masala powder, red chilly powder. Mix
everything well.
Make medium sized balls of the mixture and flatten each of them with the palm of your hands.
Generally, a paste of maida ( all purpose flour ) or beaten eggs is taken. The flattened balls
are dipped in the maida paste or beaten eggs. Then they are rolled in breadcrumbs and later fried
in oil. I did not have maida and my mother-in-law does not eat eggs. So I skipped this part
completely. I also did not have breadcrumbs. So what do I do to make the cutlet crispy and
crunchy. I never run out of any ideas. I decided to use semolina as an alternative to breadcrumbs.
I shaped the veg cutlets and rolled them in roasted semolina. Its alright if the semolina you
have is not roasted. Shallow fry the cutlets in oil till crispy and golden brown on both sides.
Serve vegetable cutlets them hot plain with mint coriander chutney, sauce or you can also
serve veg cutlets with warm bread.
