Pressure cooked chopped vegetables and green peas with little water giving one whistle. keep them aside. There should not be any water in this,If there is any excess water we need to strain them.
If bread crumbs is available then we can use that if not, grind some rusk in a mixer and this powder can be used instead of bread crumbs.
In a pan add 2 tbsp of oil and saute finely chopped onions. Once the onions become soft add ginger garlic and green chilly paste and saute well. Also add turmeric and salt.When the mixture is dried and cooked remove from fire.
Add smashed potatoes to this sauteed mixture. Add 2 tbsp of rusk powder, chopped coriander leaves, garam Masala, pepper powder and mix well.Check salt and add appropriately. Make equal balls of required size.
Using a cutlet mould or cookie cutter make the desired shape.
Whisk egg and dip each cutlet in it and roll in rusk powder and keep aside. If using maida or cornflour, make a thin paste of maida/cornflour and water.Dip it in the maida paste one by one.Quickly take it out and coat both sides with the bread crumbs. Repeat the process for the rest and arrange in plate.
Heat oil in medium flame. Flip and deep fry cutlets in oil. Fry them one by one or 2 at a time depends on your pan size. Fry it till it become golden brown.
Once done take from oil and keep on tissue paper for few minutes .We can shallow fry it also. Instead of deep fry using non stick pan with little oil turn both sides and fry.Enjoy with Tomato sauce...:)
