French fries or “CUTLETS”
The “VEG CUTLETS”
INGREDIENTS
3 medium sized potatoes
⅓ cup green peas
⅓ cup grated carrots
3 sandwich bread slices - you can use any bread like whole wheat bread or brown bread or white bread
½ inch ginger , roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves , roughly chopped
1 green chili , roughly chopped
8 to 10 black peppercorns
2 pinch turmeric powder
¼ teaspoon red chilli powder
¼ teaspoon garam masala powder
salt as required
2 to 3 tablespoons oil for frying
1 bread slice for making bread crumbs
2 tablespoons chopped coriander
Method :
1) Firstly boil 3 medium sized potatoes and ⅓ cup green peas in a pressure cooker. Take the green peas in a bowl and place in the cooker.
Just add some water to the bowl containing peas
2) Pressure cook potatoes with enough water just about covering the potatoes for about 3 to 4 whistles or 7 to 8 minutes on medium flame.
When the pressure settles down, then open the lid. Drain the water and let the potatoes become warm or cool.
3) Break 1 slice of bread in pieces and add in a mixer jar.
4) Grind to get bread crumbs. Keep aside.
5) Rinse, peel and then grate 1 small carrot. You can even boil carrot along with potatoes if you want. Keep aside.
6) Take roughly chopped ½ inch ginger, 2 garlic cloves, 1 green chili (roughly chopped) and 8 to 10 black peppercorns in a mortar-pestle.
7) Crush to a coarse paste
8) Peel the potatoes and take in a bowl. Also take the steamed green peas. Drain potatoes and green peas very well before adding in the bowl.
9) Now mash the boiled potatoes and green peas well...
10) Add 2 pinches turmeric powder, ¼ teaspoon red chilli powder, ¼ teaspoon garam masala and salt as required
11) In a plate or bowl take some water and dip 1 bread slice in it...
12) Remove and squeeze all the water from the bread very well. Do this method with 3 bread slices.
The bread slices have to be large and similar to a sandwich bread slice..
13) Add the squeezed bread pulp in the bowl containing veggies and spices.
14) Mix very well. Check the taste and add more salt if required. For a slight tangy taste, you can even add some lemon juice or dry mango powder (amchur)
15) Heat 2 to 3 tablespoons oil in a tawa or a pan. When the oil becomes medium hot, place the bread cutlets on the tawa.
16) Flip again and a couple of times to get an even golden color on the crust.
17) Serve bread cutlets hot with any chutney or dip of your choice.
