Vegetable cutlet

Vegetable cutlets are great blend of vegetables and spices. These are great as an appetizer, evening snack with tea, or as a side dish for pulao.

In Indian cuisine, a cutlet specifically refers to cooked meat (mutton, fish or chicken) stuffing that is fried with a batter covering. The meat itself is cooked with spices - onion, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, coriander, green chillies, lemon and salt. This is then dipped in an egg mix and then in breadcrumbs, and fried in oil.

The vegetarian version has no meat in it, instead the filling is a combination of mashed potatoes, onion, green chillies, spices and salt, cooked for a bit together. This version is more popular with the dominantly vegetarian Indian population.
