• Green peas: 2 tbsp (steamed or boiled)

• Chopped green chili: 1 small

Method

1. Prepare the Mixture:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine mashed potato, grated carrot, chopped green beans, green peas, green chili, and ginger-garlic paste.

   • Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, salt, and coriander leaves. Mix well.

   • Add rice flour or breadcrumbs for binding and mix again until the mixture holds its shape.

2. Shape the Cutlets:

   • Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into flat, round or oval cutlets.

3. Cook the Cutlets:

   • Preheat a non-stick pan or air fryer. For stovetop cooking, use a few drops of water to lightly grease the pan if needed.

   • Place the cutlets on the pan and cook on low-medium heat, flipping occasionally, until both sides are golden and crisp.

   • Alternatively, air fry the cutlets at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.

4. Serve:

   • Serve hot with mint chutney, tomato ketchup, or yogurt dip for a delightful, healthy snack.
