Nothing like a tasty, spicy snack piping hot, straight from the kadai or frying pan on a winter morning, along with the breakfast tea or coffee. There are plenty of such easy to make and quick to serve types, it is the mood to eat a particular favourite that decides the recipe.


Yesterday was my day for hot vegetable cutlets and lip-smacking Khajoor ki chutney (dates chutney). The taste lingers and still feeling unsatisfied, I could go for it once again towards the end of the week. Let’s see how it is made.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Vegetable Cutlets [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_column_text]Here is how we make them.
  • Take flour in a fairly large bowl, add some water and stir it till it becomes a solution with some thickness that can drip.
  • Add black pepper and salt in the solution. Keep aside for about 20 mins.
  • Keep the potatoes boiled and allowed to cool. Peel off the skins, break finely with hands. Mind you do not try when it is hot, could burn the fingers.
  • In this bowl of mashed potatoes, put in all the vegetables (carrot, cabbage, capsicum, cauliflower, chillies) and also put the masalas or ground spices on top.
  • Mix the lot into a fine round mass like we do for dough for chappatis. (known as pitthi)
  • Take a small lump about the size of a lemon and shape it into one of 2” length, 1 ½ “ wide and about ½” thick.
  • Keep on a plate and likewise do for the entire mass of pitthi or dough.
  • Put some oil in a frying pan for frying. Heat it.
  • When it is sufficiently hot, take one shaped piece, dip it in the flour solution kept in the bowl and put in the frying pan. Likewise take three or four more pieces and pt them also in the frying pan after dipping in the flour solution. (See that the excess flour solution drips off the dipped piece covered with it sufficiently before putting in the frying pan to get uniform feel)
  • Deep fry brown to golden brown both sides.
  • Lay on large plate or tray covered with paper napkins to soak away the excess oil.
  • Do likewise for all.
  • Enjoy hot with some sauce or chutney.
