Cutlet

Cooks in: 30 Minutes Serves: 2 People

Vegetable cutlets are an excellent evening snack. When cooked millet is mixed with veggies and made into cutlets, it gives a very good texture. I used the leftover cooked millet for this recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 Cup Cooked and mashed Foxtail Millet
• 1/2 Cup Cooked and mashed sweet potatoes
• 1/2 Cup Chopped spinach
• 1/2 Cup Chopped Onions
• 1/4 Cup Besan/Gram flour
• 1 Cup Pressure baked veggies or boiled veggies ( beans, carrot, sweet corn)
• 1 Tsp Salt
• 1 Tsp Chilli Powder
• 1 Tsp Garam Masala
• 1/2 Tsp Chat Masala
• 1/2 Tsp Amchoor Masala
• 1/4 Tsp Turmeric Powder
• 1/4 Tsp Cumin Seeds

Directions:

1. In a pan add 2 tbsp oil and splutter cumin seeds. Add onion and saute for 2 minutes on low heat till transparent.  Add chilli powder, garam masala, chat masala, amchoor powder, turmeric powder and salt. Switch off and mix well.
2. In a wide bowl add other ingredients and mix thoroughly. Add the sauted onion mixture and mix well and make a thick dough like chapati dough by adding water.
3. Divide the dough into equal portions and give a shape of your choice.
4. Heat a shallow pan on medium heat and add a tbsp of oil. Place the cutlets and and cook till the bottom turns crisp. Flip and cook the other side by adding some oil. Once done, remove on a kitchen tissue.
5. Serve with chutney/tomato sauce.

Note:

1. The veggies and spinach leave water. So while mixing, add water little by little.

2. Instead of using a flat pan, paniyaram pan can be used to fry by making balls. This gives a deep fried effect with minimum oil.
