Potato Peas Cutlet

Hmm... the word CUTLET makes most people mouth-watering. Never mind, I am one among them. This is an easy to make dish which is both filling and tasty. Not just potatoes or peas it can be made using any pressure cooked vegetable for that matter. But it's always better to choose a vegetable that complements spices.
Here you go with the recipe

Ingredients:
2 tablespoon cornflour or maida
2 medium sized potatoes
1/2 cup peas
1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
1 chopped onion
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon chilli powder
Coriander finely chopped
pinch of turmeric
1 cup bread crum
salt to taste

Method:
Pressure cook the potato and peas and smash them after peeling the baked potatoes.
Add oil to the pan, fry chopped onion, then add ginger-garlic paste, turmeric. Fry again.
Add the smashed vegetables. Add chilli powder, garam masala, salt and mix well. Let the ingredients cook until the raw smell from them goes away. Add coriander and stop the flame.
Once cooked, let the mixture cool for sometime.
Mix cornflour/maida in water to make a paste.
Make small balls out of the veg mixture and dip them in the flour paste.
Put the balls in bread crums and roll evenly. Now press the ball to make the patti for our cutlet.
Add little oil to the thava and place the patties one by one. Maintain medium flame. Add oil to the top of the patties. Turn them upside down until both the sides are roasted and crisp.
Serve the cutlets with sauce.
