Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized, boiled and mashed Potato
• 1 medium, grated Carrot
• 0.5 cup, steamed or boiled Green peas
• 0.5 cup, finely chopped and steamed Green beans
• 1 cup Bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons Cornflour (Cornstarch)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger-garlic paste
• 1 small, finely chopped Green chili
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Coriander leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 1 teaspoon (for greasing and shallow frying) Oil

Directions

Step 1

Boil and mash the potatoes until smooth. Set them aside in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add the grated carrot, steamed green peas, finely chopped green beans, minced green chili, and coriander leaves to the mashed potatoes.

Step 3

Mix well and ensure all the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 4

Add the ginger-garlic paste, cumin powder, garam masala, and salt to the mixture. Mix thoroughly to combine all the spices.

Step 5

Add 2 tablespoons of cornflour to the mixture to help bind it. If the mixture feels too wet, add a little more cornflour, 1 teaspoon at a time.

Step 6

Shape the mixture into small round or oval patties, about 2 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Spread the bread crumbs on a plate. Coat each patty evenly with bread crumbs to form a crispy outer layer.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa (flat griddle) over medium heat. Lightly grease it with 1 teaspoon of oil using a brush or paper towel.

Step 9

Place 4-5 patties on the skillet without overcrowding. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping once.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining patties, greasing the skillet lightly as needed.

Step 11

Serve the low-fat veg cutlets hot with mint chutney or tomato ketchup for a healthy, flavorful snack.
