Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 potato (boiled and mashed)
- 1/2 onion (finely chopped)
- Green coriander
- Green chilies
- Amchoor
- Salt
- Grated ginger
- RCP
- Coriander powder
- 2 slices of bread (white or brown)
- Oil for shallow frying
- Water in a flat plate
Instructions:
- Mix well all ingredients for the filling. Keep aside.
- Soak the bread slice gently in water and press flat between palms to squeeze the water.
- Put some mixture in the center and roll while pressing to form a ball. Now give the desired shape for the cutlet.
- Once all the cutlets are shaped, put a shallow pan on the flame.
- Grease with 1 tbsp of oil.
- Once hot, put the cutlets.
- Shallow fry them on both sides till crispy brown.
- Serve hot with ketchup or green chutney.
Cooking tip:
- Drain the potatoes after boiling to prevent them from becoming too wet.
- Be careful not to overfill the bread with the potato mixture, as this can make the cutlets difficult to shape.
- Do not move the cutlets immediately after placing them in the pan. Allow the bread to cook a little before flipping.
Architecture Tip
"Before, what would happen is the houses would have a separate store with the kitchen, which was called a Bhandar Ghar. Where we would store our things that came from the market, we would store them. But today, slowly the sizes of the houses are getting smaller. They have started living in apartments and space has become very, very scarce." Therefore, when designing a kitchen, it is important to include a storage corner in addition to cabinets. This will make your life much simpler.
