Easy Potato Cutlet: #Recipe

Today I will tell you how I make easy potato cutlet. I hope you will enjoy this quick recipe.

All you need for this recipe;

• Mashed potatoes ( 3 medium size)
• Onion bulb ( small)
• Coriander
• 1 Egg medium size, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
• 1 Teaspoons chopped green Chili ( or according to taste- optional)
• Cumin seeds ( optional)
• Coriander powder or seeds ( optional)
• ½ cup all purpose Flour or bread crumbs
• Salt ( according to taste)
• Black pepper ( according to taste)
• Vegetable oil, for pan-frying

These(in picture on the right) are some optional ingredients that you can add. 

Directions:

The best thing that I like is, main ingredient is potato little salt and pepper, rest whatever you want to add to enhance the taste is up to you.

 The way, that I normally use is;

You can use leftover potatoes or boil them until soft. Peel them and mash them in a large bowl, add salt and all other spices you want. Then combine them well with hands.

After mixing leave the mixture for an hour in fridge and then divide whole mixture in 6 equal parts. For each portion roll a compact ball and then flatten and make any shape that you like. Beat one egg and then dip the cutlet in this and after wards roll in all purpose flour or bread crumbs.

Now they are ready to fry. Normally I do not deep fry I just add few tablespoons (3-4) of vegetable oil on platter or sauté pan over medium heat.

Fry the cutlet, in batches of 2 or 4, until golden brown and crispy. They are ready and you can serve them hot with ketchup or chili or hot sauce and tea. 

Note:

You can add boiled and drained chicken, vegetables like, peas, carrot, corn etc. to enhance the taste. You can prepare this mixture or cutlet and keep in fridge in air tight container and fry them when you need. You can use in sandwich too.
