Ingredients
1 cup cauliflower florets
1 cup potatoes, diced & peeled
1 cup green peas, frozen or fresh
1 cup green beans, 1/4 inch pieces
1 cup finely shredded carrots
1/2 cup finely shredded beets
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
2 hot green chilies, quartered
2/3 cup cooked chick peas
3 tablespoon almonds
3 tablespoon walnuts
3 tablespoon sunflower seeds
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon garam masala
3/4 cup soy milk
2 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoon whole wheat flour
2/3 cup white poppy seeds
1 ghee for shallow frying
Directions: How to Cook Mixed Vegetable Cutlets
Place the cauliflower, potatoes, fresh peas & green beans in the bottom of a pot & cover with water. Put the carrots, beets & celery in a steaming basket, cover & place over the pot. Cook until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Drian, saving the water. Add the frozen peas, defrosted first, to the steamed vegetables.
In a blender, while it is running, drop in the chilies. Add the chick peas, nuts & seeds & process until the peas are mashed. Some vegetable water may facilitate this. Add the cauliflower, potatoes, fresh peas, if using, & beans. Pulse on & off till they are coarsely mashed. Transfer to a mixing bowl, add the steamed vegetables, salt, pepper, turmeric & garam masala. Mix well. Divide into portions.
Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Flatten a portion into an almond shaped cutlet, 1/2 inch thick & place on the sheet. Cover & refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Whisk the soy milk, cornstarch & flour in a flat bowl until smooth. Dip each cutlet into the batter, roll in poppy seeds & set aside briefly to air dry.
Heat ghee to a depth of 3/4 inch. Without crowding, fry the cutlets in batches for 2 minutes each side. Drain & serve.

Yes Folks. I agree. This recipe is really long and tedious. I make cutlet
every other day and with variations of veggies. There's not rocket science
in a simple cutlet. If ur making cutlet with fresh veggies then;
1- simply steam cook them first, or grate as required
2- then mash all of them together,
3- add the following flavouring items as per taste --> finely chopped
green chilles, garam massala, coriander and cumin seed powder, salt, ginger
- garlic paste.
3- mix bread (damp) to the mixture so that the cutlet doesnt break or crack
while being fried.
4- Make equal size balls and pat them to make a round or oval shape.
5- You can use Semolina (rava) or bread crumbs, cornstarch for coating
the balls.
6- Shallow fry and serve with ketchup.
You can also use left over vegetables and bread to make cutlets. Except
dont mix leafy veggies like methi, palak etc. Thats how i get rid of my
left over food - why waste ;)
