Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Vegetable Cutlets.
Step 1
To start your delicious vegetable cutlets, grab a large pot and toss in your diced potatoes, carrots, green beans, and peas.
Step 2
Pour in enough water to cover those vibrant veggies, then bring everything to a lively boil.
Step 3
Once you see those bubbles dancing, lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are nice and tender.
Step 4
After cooking, drain the vegetables and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to get a little hands-on! Use a potato masher to mash the veggies, but don’t go overboard—leave some small chunks for that delightful texture.
Step 6
In the same bowl, add an egg, three-quarters of a cup of bread crumbs, a sprinkle of garam masala, a dash of cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt.
Step 7
Mix everything together until it’s well combined and you can almost smell the flavors mingling.
Step 8
Next, shape the mixture into small patties, about half an inch thick.
Step 9
For an extra crunch, roll each patty in the remaining bread crumbs to coat them evenly.
Step 10
Now, heat some vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 11
Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully add your coated patties to the skillet.
Step 12
Fry them until they turn a beautiful golden brown on both sides, which should take about three to four minutes per side.
Step 13
When they’re perfectly cooked, remove the cutlets from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
Step 14
And there you have it—crispy, flavorful vegetable cutlets that are sure to impress! Enjoy them as a snack or serve them up as a delightful appetizer.
