Recipe for Vegetable Cutlets – Manjula’s Kitchen

Experience the culinary journey of crafting these delectable vegetable cutlets with our comprehensive recipe. This versatile recipe allows you to showcase a fusion of flavors and textures, making it an excellent choice for anyone seeking a delightful snack or appetizer.

Start by carefully selecting a combination of vibrant vegetables like green peas, carrots, green beans, and corn. Steam these vegetables to perfection, and then take a moment to remove any excess water, ensuring your cutlets have the perfect consistency. The meticulous process of patting the vegetables dry sets the stage for a flawless mixture that seamlessly blends with the other ingredients.

The vegetarian cutlet recipe’s essence lies in the harmonious combination of steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, cilantro, green chilies, ginger, salt, and a touch of mango powder. This blend of flavors creates a filling that will delight your taste buds with each bite of the cutlet.

To bind the ingredients, make a simple batter using All-Purpose flour and water. This addition not only acts as a cohesive element but also adds a pleasant crispiness to the cutlets when fried in hot oil.

Divide the mixture into 10 equal portions, then shape them into flat, round patties about 1/2 inch thick using oiled hands. Increase the crispiness by dipping each vegetable cutlet into the flour batter before generously coating them with breadcrumbs, resulting in a crunchy exterior that complements the tender, flavorful interior.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat to a depth of at least 1 inch. Test the oil’s readiness by dropping a bit of batter – it should sizzle and rise immediately. Fry the cutlets in batches until they achieve a beautiful golden-brown color on both sides. This frying technique seals in the flavors, producing vegetarian cutlets that are not only visually appealing but also incredibly delicious.

Whether served as an appetizer at gatherings or as a quick snack, these vegetable cutlets from our recipe are sure to please a crowd. Their harmonious blend of vegetables, spices, and textures showcases the versatility of vegetarian cuisine, making them a delightful addition to your culinary repertoire.

Notes: 

In crafting the perfect veg cutlet with this veg cutlet recipe, attention to detail is crucial. Ensure that the oil is adequately heated, as insufficient heat may cause the patties to break during frying. To counter any excess moisture in the vegetable/potato mixture, consider incorporating additional breadcrumbs, enhancing both texture and absorbency.

Flexibility is a key feature of this vegetable cutlet recipe. You have the freedom to mold the cutlets into your preferred shape, allowing for a personalized touch to these vegetarian cutlets.

For added convenience, these veg cutlets can be prepared a day in advance. Simply heat them in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit before serving, or warm them on a skillet for a quick and satisfying meal.

When it comes to serving, elevate the experience by pairing these vegetable cutlets with delightful chutneys. Cilantro chutney or tamarind chutney are excellent choices, enhancing the flavors of the veg cutlets. For a heartier option, transform them into veggie burgers by adding cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and a dollop of chutney. This versatile veg cutlet recipe provides endless possibilities, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a flavorful and customizable vegetarian treat.

    Hello Madam Manjula the very first time I learned of your cooking channel on Youtube I saw you make this recipe. Tonight I made this for myself but I must say I made a one change. I used a cornmeal flour resembling polenta in place of the cooked potato. I followed the rest of the recipe as is. What a delicious meal! The spices popped in my mouth and the golden crust and color of the patty was beautiful and crunchy. Thank you for sharing your skills and good taste with the world Madam you are truly a gift from God. Namaskar.

    Thank you Manjula Ma’am for a wonderful way to incorporate veggies. My 3 yr old daughter loved it so also my husband! I made these today as per your recipe. I did not have breadcrumbs. I got an idea and used cereal corn flakes cum almond flakes coarsely crumbled as a substitute for breadcrumbs. I got very nice crisp cutlets and healthier too! Freezing the cutlets is a brilliant idea before frying. While I got all the batches perfect, the last one did fall apart a bit. Also remember not to overcrowd the patties in oil, that may sometimes lead to crumbling.

    i made vegetable cutlets on holi using ur recipe.it was very delicious and everyone praised it a lot!i read a few other recipes also where they first ask to roll the cutlets in batter but i dnt think that is required .my cutlets came out very crispy.also the corn used made it very yummy and a bit different from others.initially my mixture became very wet and one of the reasons for it was that i used mixer to mash the potatoes.never do it !mash them with ur hands!but after rolling them in breadcrumbs i kept them in chiller and it helped a lot!thankyou for sharing such a wonderful recipe!

    i just wanted to say that i tried to make some veg cutlets today and i followed all your instructions correctly, the oil was hot enough, but still my patties broke, i dont why it happened, but any how it still tasted good.

    Thanks for uploading delicious recipes, i am really a great fan of yours.

      December 4, 2011 at 3:28 am

      Hello my friend I tried for the first time too, to hold the cutlet before frying , I coated with bread crumps and left in the freezer compartment for 10-15 mins , which holds the potatoes and the crmps firmly, then take it out and fry it when the oil is hot. Please let me know.. it definitely it will work.

      Good Luck

    hello unty , what is the meaning of breadcrumbs.

      Angel
      July 2, 2011 at 11:05 am

      Shashi,

      Breadcrumbs is nothing but crumbs of bread or bread ground in to crumbs. Just use bread slices and toast them a bit in a toaster, let them cool and then grind them to a coarse mixture. This is breadcrumbs. A slightly stale bread can also be ground with herbs and spices to make seasoned breadcrumbs. (this is just a way to add all purpose flour to your mix to bind the mixture, since bread is made of all purpose flour) Hope this helps.

    Auntyji,

    I tried this recipe but it came out soft and absorbed alot of oil.
    For the vegetables, can we use frozen vegetables, do I need to boil them?
    Thanks,
    K

      Manjula Jain
      April 30, 2011 at 12:01 am

      K. Murti,
      If mixture is too soft that will absorb extra oil and cutlets will be soft. You can use frozen vegetables but make sure after you though the vegetables squeeze out the extra water.

    Hello, dear Manjula.

    I would like to make these for a friend who has an allergy to gluten. Would I be able to substitute besan flour for the wheat flour?

      Manjula Jain
      September 1, 2010 at 4:19 pm

      Valerie,
      Basen is gluten free.

      Jaya
      September 6, 2010 at 8:02 am

      Besan is made from chickpeas. Calling is “flour” is a little misleading because it could imply there is wheat in it, but besan is safe AND very versatile for baking and cooking. You can use it as a thickening agent instead of wheat flour and there are many Indian dishes that use it.

        Valerie
        September 7, 2010 at 6:12 am

        Hi, Jaya. I have used besan flour before and like it very much. As my friend is gluten intolerant, I thought to use it, but was worried that it might affect the flavour/texture of the recipe. I call it flour as that is what it is called here. Thank you for your comment.

      Tanvi
      August 18, 2010 at 8:20 am

      raji,
      Try adding couple of teaspoons of sooji [semolina flour] or rice flour.It will make them super crisp! These two will work better than cornflakes in my opinion.

    Dear Manjula Aunty,

    I love your receipes. Have made a few and they have come out really well. It will be great if you can design a weekly menu plan for all the users. This will help coz most of time i fall short of ideas and do not have the required ingredients at home. If i get a menu plan at the beginning of every week i can stock stuff and don’t have to think much on what to cook. Hope to get a positive response from your end.

    Thanks

      You can make bread crumbs by tearing a piece of bread into smaller pieces, and then either use your blender or food processor to make them into finer crumbs.

    Auntie,

    I made a simpler version with just potatoes and then I fried them – the first 4-5 turned out beautifully, but then the rest just fell apart. I know above it said if the oil is not hot enough they will break apart, but I did not change the setting of the heat. I also did not use any bread crumbs or flour but I did mix in cornstarch. Any tips? Thanks.

      Manjula Jain
      February 3, 2010 at 10:30 pm

      Hi AJ,
      Before doing the second batch you should have waited for a minute so oil is heated again next time try this should help.

We made these vegetable cutlets and also your masala french fries, only we baked both recipes to cut out a bit of the oil. Also, we served some of your hari chutney on the side, and it really brought it all together wonderfully. So thank you for all of your hard work, it is very much appreciated!

    Dear ma,
    Looks great…I shall try it this weekend. Could I add paneer, kaju and kishmish in the mix? Would the boild potato hold these in the cutlet? My 5-year old daughter likes this things very much.

    Hi Auntie,

    Its been long since I have posted any comments, not that I hadn’t been trying yr wonderful recipes.

    Offlate I have tried your Kadai Paneer Cutlet, Saffron rice recipes. Except for safron rice the others came out well. Saffron rice flopped bcos I had been hesitant to add the required amount of sugar:-)

    Today I made Palak Paneer, haven’t tasted it yet but am sure it will b delicious. I have added butter instead of the cream other than that I have mostly followed your recipe.

    Thanks for your effort and please teach us more recipes. Will be glad if you can post pav bhaji, veg manchurian.

    Warmest Regards

    Helo aunty,

    Your receipe is good, traditional, however this is a perfect receipie for incresing weight, too many calries, I have tried making the same using Oven, may not be as tasty or as attractive in looks, however cuts the fat content by 60%, would advice you to levrage Oven and Microwave to give alternatives to deep frying in your recipie…..this wil immensely attract the youths, withouth depriving of taste they can ensure the same tradiational food at low calories 🙂

    Breadcrumbs can be either purchased pre-packaged at the grocery store or you can make your own. Get 2 or 3 slices of white bread and cut off the crust. Put the bread into a food processor and let the blade spin for several seconds and you will have breadcrumbs.

    It’s nothing fancy, just bread that has been turned into very fine crumbs.

    Sweetie
    November 7, 2008 at 1:19 pm

    I had seen a tip on food network once for wrapping anything in bread crumbs, you should mix very little (about 2 teaspoon of water) to the crumbs and then roll your cutlet in it. I had found the finish far better than the one you get with dry crumbs.

    I have made Bread Pakoras, Masala french fries and vegetable culets. They all came out so prefect and yummy. My husband and my daughter like it so much…. I also made Almond and cashew burfi but came out little too sweet. Next time I will only add 1 cup sugar. I will give 5 star to all of your recipes.

    Hello Sandhya,
    Congratulation, Jaya has explained well, good to have variety of food, dals, green vegetables, fruits, dairy product and nuts. I do believe eating every day if possible in morning 5 to 8 almonds (before eating soak almonds for 4 to 5 hours in water and take off the skin) and drinking 2 to 3 glasses of milk. Avoid taking ice cold drinks. After having baby is more important what you eat and some of the old saying really works great. When time comes I can suggest few things. I hope this will help, wish you all the best.
    Manjula

    Jaya
    August 10, 2008 at 3:27 pm

    Hi Sandhya,
    I personally don’t believe that certain dishes are necessary while pregnant. I find some of that to be based on tradition, not nutrition. Some traditional beliefs in some families are not healthy such as taking extra ghee. We understand food nutrition better today than a generation or more before us.

    I’m vegetarian and did well through 2 pregnancies. Include items from the important food groups each day such as dal dishes for protein, vegetable dishes to include vitamin rich vegetables like spinach, sooji is rich in iron and protein, yogurt and milk for calcium, fresh fruits for vitamins. Vitamin fortified cereals are also good so long as they are not too sugary.

    Be cautious of foods high in salt. If you purchase pre-packaged foods it’s important to read the nutrition label. Even some pre-packaged frozen food from the Indian grocery store are too high in salt and I don’t buy them.

    I don’t know if this helps you or not, but my point is to not focus on specific dishes, but rather just eat dishes that provide protein, vitamins, calcium, etc. Have variety in you diet as that is the best way to ensure you are getting a good combination of nutrients.

    I don’t want to go on too long, but would be happy to reply if you have further questions. 🙂

    Hi,
    Being more specific i was talking about the various dishes that should be taken during pregnancy.. As in a woman needs to take care of health and eat nutritious food during pregnancy, so I just thought of asking if you have any recepies that can be taken… For example Moong Dal Dosa, Besan Puda etc etc..
    Anyways can you please post me the recepies for daldhokli, undhiyo and handavo.. I followed the same way u showed it and tasted really good.. Thanks..

    Jaya
    August 6, 2008 at 11:14 am

    Hi Sandhya,
    From a health and cardiac perspective, CANOLA OIL is the best because it has the least amount of “Saturated” fat that contributes to high cholesterol. The other oils are higher in saturated fat than Canola.

    If you are concerned about oil consumption, then avoid deep fried food. Some traditionally deep fried foods can be baked or shallow fried with Pam oil spray (the Canola oil variety). Ghee (being from butter) has a lot of saturated fat and should be avoided or used sparingly.

    Other Indian savories only taste right if they are deep fried and either must be avoided or taken in small quantities, infrequently.

    You, or whoever is pregnant, can also talk about diet questions to your Obtsetrician. Often they have someone within the office who does the dietary counselling or will refer you to the dietician at the hospital.

    Please post if you have further questions. 🙂

    July 13, 2008 at 8:40 am

    Hi Alessandra,
    Olive oil has a lower smoking temperature which means it will get very hot much quicker than the other vegetable oils, so that would be my only concern. But if you are used to deep frying with olive oil then you should be fine.

    Secondly, if Canola oil is available in Spain it is the best oil from a health perspective because of all the oils it has the lowest content of “saturated fats” which contribute to problems with increased cholesterol. 🙂

    Manjula Jain
    July 13, 2008 at 7:23 am

    Thank you so much for all your recipes. I’m learnig a lot and everything is delicious. I’d like to ask, please, which kind of oil is better to use? I live in Spain and olive oil is very good, but maybe a littke ‘thick’ for certain dishes.

    hi geeta
    instead of potato u can use plantain .boil them and remove them from boiling water as soon as they are done dont let them stay in boiling water as they will absorb moisture,peel them and remove the extra moisture with paper towel and grate them i made kabab with them and they were wonderful.u can use egg wash instead of maida if u eat eggs.and then no need to use bread crumbs, i put frozen methi in them and they came out wonderful

    Manjula Jain
    May 8, 2008 at 9:41 pm

    Hello Geeta, You can use corn starch instead of Maida, instead of potatoes you can use paneer because you need a binding agent I am not sure for your third question but if I am you I will just try it.

    Geeta
    May 8, 2008 at 10:05 am

    Dear Smt. Manjula Ji,

    I love to watch your recipes as they are very simple, finer details are explained and very neatly done.

    I am a budding cook at home. Three queries about the vegetable cutlet –

    1. Can I use corn starch instaed of Maida to dip before rolling over bread crumps?

    2. Can I use chiroti rava OR roasted peanut powder instead of bread crumps?

    3. What else can I use instead of potato as binding agent as my husband does not prefer potato.

    Thank you very much.

    Warm regards,
