Mix vegetable cutlet

Tomorrow is the last day of school. My champ will go to 3rd standard. He is a big boy now. They will be having a farewell party. It will be a potluck party. All the kids have to bring some snacks items.

Champ told to his class teacher, "I will bring cutlets... My mom can make it". Teacher said yes. Teacher told me if possible prepare and if not purchase from market.

He wanted me to cook for his classmates. As per his version, "mama you are the best cook (kid's used to say this to apply some butter to get their work done). I know you can make good food for me. So I wanted all my class mates to eat your food."

Here comes my version of vegetable cutlet. I will call it jugadu veg cutlets as whatever ingredients available at home I made these cutlets. 

Cauliflower- 2 to 3 florets

Carrot- 1

Beans- 4 to 5

Boiled potatoes- 3

Capsicum- 1

Onion- 1 big

Ginger-  1inch

Garlic- 3 to 4 cloves

Chopped coriander-1 tbsp

Boiled dry chana- 2 tbsp

Salt to taste

Haldi- 1/2 tsp

Red chillipowder- 1/2 tsp

Greenchillies- 1

(For kids one should avoid both the chillies. I didn't add as I will send to school)

Dhania- 1/2 tsp

Zeera-1/2 tsp 

Garam masala- 1 tsp

Corn flour- 2 tbsp 

Bread slices- 6 to 7

Oil for frying


Dry roast dhania and zeera in a pan and make powder. Keep aside.

Steam all the veggies in a steamer/pressure cooker. Boil potatoes and keep them on the kitchentowel,  it will be dry. Let them come to the room temperature.

Chop onion and coriander leaves. Grate ginger and garlic. Keep aside. 

Grind the bread slices and make bread crumbs. Spread them on a big plate.

In a mixing bowl add the veggies, boiled white chana, chopped onion, coriander leaves, grated ginger, garlic, all dry spices and corn flour. Shape the cutlets. And place them on the bed of bread crumbs and coat evenly.

Heat oil in a frying pan or tawa. Place the cutlets in the oil and deep fry  till it becomes goldenbbrown. Serve hot with any chutney or sauce. I packed them in box for his party.
