Cutlets are Tikkis or patties made with a combination of boiled potatoes, mixed veggies and some spices. Then give them a shape of round, square, oblong or as of your choice.

About this mix vegetable cutlet recipe
It is an easy Indian starter, appetizer or snack recipe. This recipe is Vegan and becomes diabetic friendly when we grill it in the oven. You can also make them in an air fryer or on the tawa itself.
Small kids enjoyed its fried version as their energy requirement is high and they eat very little at a time. So, it is a good snack or finger food for little kids.
As it was my kids demand of making deep-fried cutlets and I want them to be lower in calories. So, decided to make it in both ways. Deep-fried cutlet for kids and for myself and husband baked or grilled one.
Although all the steps are the same in both methods just with a difference of final cooking. Enjoy these cutlets in both ways whether you deep fried or shallow fry it or bake them in the oven or air fryer them they do not disappointed you in the taste.

Variation in veg cutlets
1. I have used onion, green pepper and carrots but other vegetables like green beans, cauliflower, cabbage, spinach, methi leaves, mushroom, matar etc can also be added.
2. To make it rich in protein add paneer or tofu or soya granules for vegans.
3. Also potatoes can be replaced with sweet potato or green banana as well.
I didn’t use all-purpose flour or cornflour batter as by doing this cutlet absorb a little more oil.
For binding, I have used besan and rice flour to add some protein content. but can be replaced with fresh bread crumbs if you like.
Try these easy, healthy and delicious snacks either deep-fried or grilled version.
Step by step preparation of mix veg cutlets
- Grate boiled potatoes. Now add finely chopped green pepper, onion, grated carrot and boiled and strained sweet corn.
2. Then add salt, cumin seed powder, amchoor, black pepper powder, ginger-garlic-green chilli paste, turmeric powder, green coriander leaves, besan, rice flour and lemon juice. Mix them nicely to make a soft dough.
3. Take small portions and shape them in cylinder or round or any other shape of your choice.
4. Now on a plate, spread bread crumbs and coat each cutlet with it. Put them on another plate and put them aside.
Deep frying method
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a frying pan to medium-hot. Once the oil becomes hot, add cutlets one by one and deep fry them till they become brown in colour. It will take around 3-4 minutes for each batch.
2. Transfer them to a plate and serve them with coconut chutney, green chutney or tomato sauce.
OTG Method
1. preheat the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 10-15 minutes with both the rods on.
2. After step 4, place the cutlet on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Lightly apply oil on the top of each cutlet and put the baking tray in preheated oven. Bake them for about 15 minutes. Then remove the tray and turn the cutlet to the other side and apply oil on that side. Put the tray again in the oven and grill it for about 15-20 minutes.
3. Take out the tray from the oven. Transfer cutlets to a serving plate and serve hot.
Serving suggestion
Although Veg cutlet can be enjoyed in any season. But hot crispy cutlets are a perfect evening time snack in Winters with a cup of hot tea. They can also be served as a starter or appetizer for a party or get-together.

Tips and tricks
1. Boil potatoes up to 2-3 whistles and wait for 2-3 minutes then release the steam. Strain the water and let them cool completely before mashing or grating them. By doing this they stay a little dry and not sticky.
2. For the binding, I have used besan and rice flour but can also be replaced with fresh bread crumbs.
3 To make it completely vegan use besan for binding and crushed corn flakes or crushed poha for coating.
4. After making the dough do not leave it for a longer time as the veg mixture starts leaving water and it becomes loose consistency.
