Ingredients

• 1 small carrot, peeled and grated
• 1 small beetroot, peeled and grated
• 2 medium potatoes, boiled, peeled and grated
• 2 to 3 tbsp finely chopped fresh coriander
• 2 to 3 green chillies, finely chopped
• ½ tsp garam masala powder
• ½ tsp red chilli powder
• Salt, to taste
• ½ cup fresh breadcrumbs
• Oil, for greasing and shallow frying
• Tomato ketchup, to serve
• Masala makhana, to serve

Method

1. Add the grated boiled potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add the grated carrot and beetroot, followed by the chopped coriander and green chillies.
2. Add the garam masala, red chilli powder, salt and fresh breadcrumbs. Mix everything thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture comes together into a firm dough-like mixture.
3. Grease your palms lightly with oil. Divide the mixture into equal portions and roll each portion into a smooth ball. Gently flatten each ball between your palms to form evenly shaped cutlets.
4. Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the cutlets in the pan, making sure not to overcrowd it.
5. Shallow-fry the cutlets for a few minutes on each side, gently flipping them once the underside turns golden brown. Cook until both sides are crisp and evenly browned.
6. Remove the cutlets from the pan and place them on absorbent paper to remove any excess oil. Serve hot with tomato ketchup and masala makhana.
