Veg Cutlet Recipe | How to make Vegetable Cutlet with step-by-step pics and a short Youtube video. If you like my video, please do SUBSCRIBE to my channel ‘Asmallbite’. A very popular Indian snack prepared by combining different vegetables and some spice powders. It is crunchy on the outside and soft inside, so delicious with potatoes as the main ingredient. They are then shaped into round or cylinders or logs and dipped into a flour slurry, rolled over bread crumbs, and then deep-fried. I have used potatoes, carrots, and fresh peas, but you can use other veggies like cauliflower, mushroom, shredded cabbage, beets, raw banana, sweet potato, broccoli, zucchini, etc, to make it more nutritious, also a smart idea to finish off the leftover vegetables from the refrigerator. To make it kids-friendly, 1/2 cup of sweet corn or grated paneer, mozzarella, or cheddar cheese can be added and the recipe is also so versatile. If you are reluctant to deep frying, then these veg cutlets can be shallowly fried, baked, and air-fried too (do check the tips and FAQ for the methods). If interested, check my Paneer Cutlet and Crispy Aloo Tikki recipes.

Making Veg Cutlet

  • Pressure cook the veggies with 1/8 cup of water and a little salt for 3 to 4 whistles.
    Notes: Do not more water while cooking the vegetables as they will absorb water and end up mushy.
    Once the veggies become cold, mash them with a masher or fork.
  • Transfer the mashed vegetables to a mixing bowl.
    Now, add the chili powder, garam masala powder, jeera powder, ginger-garlic paste, and required salt.
    Quick Tips: If there is too much moisture in the vegetable mixture, then the cutlet will break-in oil. Add breadcrumbs or cornflour to bind the mixture.
  • Mix everything well. Check the taste and adjust more salt or spice powders if required.
    Then, add the bread crumbs.
    Quick Tips: Bread crumbs can be substituted with 2 to 3 slices of bread dipped in water and then squeezed completely of the water.
  • Add the coriander leaves and mix well.
    The mixture should not be loose or watery, else it does not hold the shape when making cutlets.
    Quick Tips: If the mixture turns watery by mistake, add 1 tbsp of bread crumbs or cornflour. Adjust with spice powders and salt again.

Shaping the Cutlets

  • Pinch a small portion of the mixture, then make small to medium-sized oval or oblong shaped or round patties/cutlets by rolling the mixture in your palms.

    Take a cutlet and dip in the flour paste gently, such that the paste gets coated all over the veg cutlet.
    Notes: The paste should be in medium consistency, not watery or thick.
    If it is watery, it won't stick to the cutlet, add 1 tbsp of flour to troubleshoot.
