About Indian Cutlet

The word cutlet has been derived from the French term côtelette or kotlet.

A cutlet can be a thin slice of meat, fish, ribs, chicken breast, mashed vegetables, breaded, and then deep-fried. You will often find mention of cutlet recipes in French and British Cookbooks.

With the Europeans, the kotlet came to India and became our favourite teatime snack cutlet. Today we have a variety of cutlet recipes in Indian Cuisine. From railway cutlets, Bengali chop, paneer cutlets, to vegetable cutlets, we have cutlet recipes to cater to every food lover.

The most popular is the Indian veg cutlet. Whether it is a monsoon downpour, or a social get-together a plate full of this vegetable cutlet is always welcomed.

My Tried & True Tips

The best part about these vegetable cutlets is they can be customized. Feel free to pick your favourite vegetables to make these cutlets.

Use a food processor, to chop or pulse the vegetables for the cutlet. This makes a difference in the texture of the cutlets.

Make sure vegetables are not wet or moist else the cutlet mixture will become water clogged.

Boil the potatoes in advance and store them in the fridge. Cold and dry potatoes make the cutlet crisp.

Always grate the potatoes for making the cutlets. Make sure no chunks remain in the grated potato.

Always fry the cutlet at medium-high temperature oil. If the oil is not hot enough cutlets will turn soggy and not crisp.

Serving Suggestion

The tantalizing aroma of the frying cutlets sneaks out of the kitchen and lingers around the tea table.

The tea laced with chai masala bubbling on the side stove sends an inviting gluttonous note to those who are wandering in the backyard yearning for evening snacks.

A bowl of tomato ketchup and green chutney are my two favourite dipping choices for a veg cutlet.

You can serve it with mint mayonnaise, tomato salsa, or any other dipping sauce of choice. That is the beauty of fried snacks they taste good with anything.

FAQs Related To Veg Cutlet Recipe

How to make gluten-free veg cutlet?

To make these cutlets gluten-free skip adding breadcrumbs. Instead, you can use grated paneer (cottage cheese) as a binder and a tablespoon of gram flour (besan) to coat the cutlets. Those who eat eggs can dip the cutlets in whisked eggs before frying for a crunchy exterior. And trust me on this, without breadcrumbs also, the vegetable cutlets turn out tasty.

How to air-fry vegetable cutlets?

Preheat the air fryer to 200 degrees for 5 minutes. Spray the cutlets with oil on both sides. Arrange the cutlets in a single layer. Bake them in an air fryer for 15 minutes on each side at 200 degrees or until golden and crisp.

How to freeze vegetable cutlets?

The cheat cook’s trick is, to make the mixture for the vegetable cutlet, shape them into tiny cigars, dust them with bread crumbs, and arrange them neatly in an airtight container. You can freeze these veg cutlets for 15 – 20 days. Thaw them at room temperature before frying.

Ingredients

  • 3 – 4 large size boiled potato
  • 1 Cup onion fine chopped
  • ¼ Cup carrot
  • ¼ Cup green peas (see notes)
  • ½ Cup bread crumb mixture
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoon kasuri methi
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon chaat masala
  • Oil for shallow frying

Ingredients For Coating

  • ¼ Cup corn starch or potato starch
  • ¼ Cup water
  • ¼ Cup bread crumbs

Instructions

  • To prepare the mixed vegetable cutlet, first drain the boiled potato and peas in a metal colander for 5 – 10 minutes so that any excess moisture in the vegetable drains out.
  • Next fine chop the remaining vegetables, I prefer using a food processor or electric chopper for the purpose.
  • Now peel and mash the boiled potato. Make sure no chunks remain in the mashed potato.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine mashed potato, boiled peas, chopped vegetables, salt, spices and bread crumbs.
  • Combine all ingredients well to form a smooth mixture. Taste and adjust the seasoning accordingly.
  • Cover with a foil and let it rest in the fridge for 15 – 20 minutes.
  • Once you are ready to fry the cutlet, heat oil in fry – pan over medium heat.
  • Take a tablespoon of cutlet mixture and shape it into a small cylinder. Tap both the sides on the kitchen counter to get flat edges. Similarly, shape all the cutlets.
  • Dip the cutlet in the cornflour mixture and then coat in breadcrumbs.
  • Shallow fry the cutlets in small batches till crisp and golden from all sides.
  • Drain on an oil absorbent paper towel.
  • Serve Mixed Vegetable Cutlet warm with tomato ketchup.
  • If you do not want to shallow fry cutlet immediately, shape them and store in an airtight box in the fridge.

Recipe Notes:

  • To make bread crumb mixture at home, pulse 3 – 4 stale or dry bread slices in the food processor.
  • Use a food processor, to chop or pulse the vegetables for the cutlet. This really makes a difference in the texture of the cutlets.
  • Make sure vegetables are not wet or moist else the cutlet mixture will become water clogged.
  • Potato: Boil the potatoes in advance and store them in the fridge. Cold and dry potatoes make the cutlet real crisp. Always grate the potatoes for making the cutlets.
  • Green Peas: You can use fresh or frozen green peas to make the cutlet. If using frozen, thaw them at room temperature, and add directly to the cutlet mixture. If using fresh green peas, blanch or boil them in water so that they are easy to mash. 
  • You can freeze these veg cutlets for 15 – 20 days. Thaw them at room temperature before frying.
  • Always fry cutlet at medium-high temperature oil. If the oil is not hot enough cutlets will turn soggy and not crisp.
  • You can air-fry the veg cutlets as well at 190 degrees Celcius for 20 minutes turning halfway through.
