Valentine’s Day is a fun special day to express your love for the special people in your life. On Valentine’s Day I made Kinnathappam (It is a traditional steamed sweet cake from the Kerala Cuisine) and mixed vegetable cutlets (Vegetable patties) in different shapes and Vegetable vadas (Indian donuts) for my husband. To make mixed vegetable cutlets and Vegetable vadas, I used vegetable juice pulp, potatoes, Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs and Spice powders..
Here I am sharing the recipe of heart shaped cutlets (Vegetable patties) with vegetable juice pulp and potatoes.
INGREDIENTS:
- Potato – 2, medium size , boiled, peeled and mashed
- Vegetable juice pulp – 1 cup (You can use any leafy vegetables and carrots, cucumber etc., )
- Ginger garlic paste – 1 tsp.
- Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs – 1 cup
- Baking powder – 1 pinch
- Turmeric powder - a pinch
- Red Chilli powder - 1 tsp
- Garam masala powder -1/2 tsp (if you want spicy)
- Salt needed
- Oil for deep frying
METHOD:
- Place 1 to 8 ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix well and bring to the consistency enough to form cutlets (little bit thinner than chapatti dough consistency). If you need, add more Bread Crumbs or 1/4 cup wheat flour and mix well to get dough consistency. Check for the salt.
- Make small balls out of the dough.
- Now make desired shapes.(Pat it flat to small round shape. Also you can make it oval, heart shape or any shape you desire)
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium flame. When it is hot enough for deep-frying, slowly slide-in 3-4 patties in it. Do not overcrowded the pan. Make sure oil is very hot otherwise cutlet may be break in oil while deep frying.
- Do not stir them for a minute after dropping in oil otherwise they may crack and break into pieces. Deep-fry them over medium flame until light brown on both sides. Flip them as required to cook evenly.
- Transfer them on a plate. Deep-fry remaining ones. Use kitchen absorbent paper to absorb excess oil from it.
- Enjoy vegetable Cutlets (Vegetable patties) hot with tomato sauce/ketchup with tea/coffee/cool drinks.
