  • Serves: 10 cutlets

These Beetroot cutlets are the absolutely best homemade veggie patties. Filled with capsicum,onions, peas, carrots, potato and spices, they are a healthy vegetarian snack & appetizer option the whole family will love. Oh did I tell you, you can swap potatoes with sweet potatoes as well.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup beetroot , boiled grated
  • 1/2 cup potato , boiled grated
  • 1 /2 cup carrots , grated
  • 1/2 cup capsicum , finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup peas , boiled
  • 1/4 cup onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp ginger , finely chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic , finely chopped
  • 1 chilli , finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup semolina
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1.5 tsp garam masala powder
  • 1/2 tsp chilli powder
  • 3 tbsp oil , for frying
  • salt , to taste

Directions

  • 1)

    In a pot boil the beetroot and potato until they both become soft but not mushy. It takes around 10-20 minutes to get evenly boiled beetroot & potato. Meanwhile you can prep the other veggies mentioned in the ingredient list. You can check if properly boiled or not by poking the beetroot & potato with a fork. If the fork slides easily all the way to the center, the veggies are done. Cool beetroot & potato by running them under cold water or you can dunk them in an ice water bath. Next peel & grate the beetroot & potato in separate bowls. Set aside.

  • 2)

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan. To it add finely chopped ginger, garlic, chili & onions. Sauté until the raw smell of these ingredients goes away. Next add grated carrots, boiled peas, finely chopped capsicum. Sauté until the mixture becomes dry. Next add grated potatoes & beetroots .

  • 3)

    Add all the spice powders & salt to taste. Give everything a good mix. Transfer the mixture on a plate and let it cool down.

  • 4)

    Once the veggie mixture cools down shape them into round patties.

  • 5)

    Take semolina in a plate. Place each cutlet on the semolina and ensure it is well coated on all the sides. Once all the cutlets are well coated place them in a refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to firm up.

  • 6)

    Take the cutlets out of the refrigerator & shallow fry them until they are crisp by flipping the sides.

     

  • 7)

    Serve them with your favorite dip. I like to serve these with tomato ketchup or green chutney.

Notes

  • You can easily double the ingredients to make more cutlets
  • You can store these cutlets in the refrigerator up to  5 days.
  • I have used semolina to coat these cutlets you can use breadcrumbs instead

      Hey Rohini. you can add any veggies of your choice, boiled corns is a great idea just make sure you drain the water well otherwise the cutlets will not hold its shape.
