Poha Cutlet

 

Ingredients:-

1 cup poha

2 potato, boiled and mashed

1/4 tsp turmeric powder

1/2 tsp red chilli powder

1/2 tsp garam masala

1/4 tsp amchur

1/2 tsp chaat masala

1/2 tsp ginger-garlic paste

1/4 tsp black pepper powder

1 tbsp cornflour

1/2 tsp salt

2 tbsp coriander leaves, finely chopped

Method:-

1. Firstly, wash thin poha with enough water a couple of times. Do not soak them, as they might break and turn mushy. Just rinse them in water. Drain off the water and allow the poha to rest for 5-10 mins, so that the moisture goes away completely. 

2. Next, transfer the poha in a large mixing bowl. To it add in the mashed potatoes, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, garam masala, amchur, chaat masala, ginger-garlic paste and black pepper powder. 

3. Further add cornflour, salt and coriander leaves. Combine and mix them well making sure that a dough is formed. Add in a tsp of cornflour or breadcrumbs if the dough contains much moisture. 

4. Now, grease your hand with oil and make small ball sized patties from the dough. Prepare all the patties and keep aside. 

5. Further heat oil in a kadai and shallow fry or deep fry the cutlets in hot oil. Remember not to overcrowd the kadai. Fry the cutlets on medium flame, flipping occasionally till they turn golden brown. Make all the cutlets in the same way. 

6. Finally, serve hot poha cutlet with tomato ketchup or coriander chutney.
