Protein rich cutlets- (soya granules cottage cheese, carrots, onion, potatoes)



Ingredients
 soya granules 1 small cup soaked in hot water, drained & washed 4-5 times in normal water to get the funny smell less     2 big potatoes boiled & mashed well              1 large onion finely chopped      
  2 large carrots finely grated        cottage cheese/paneer 200 gm mashed well       salt to taste
green chilies 6-8 as per taste finely chopped          fresh coriander leaves chopped 2-3 tbsp  
garlic 5-6 pearls finely chopped ( optional)         ginger 1" finely chopped    oil for shallow frying
bread crumbs/ semolina/suji   or one may use some cornflour to bind the mixture

method
in a thick pan add 1 tsp oil, once it is hot, add onion, ginger, garlic, green chilies, carrots & saute for 3-4 minutes. Then mix all the ingredients, except oil & bread crumbs, or those who want to use may add some all purpose flour/ corn flour or besan about 1-2 tbsp with the vegetable mixture, if you feel you can't roll it well & it is a bit sticky. Keep in the fridge for about an hour.
then heat a non stick pan, put a tsp of oil, once the pan is warm, make small balls, flatten them into the shapes you like, you may roll in bread crumbs, or suji/semolina like I've done, put on the pan & fry it on both sides to a golden brown, like you see in the last picture.

This made a good snack, rather that was our dinner last night ! it is healthy, as it has enough proteins, as both soya & cottage cheese have good protein, it has carbs, as potatoes are there, then vitamins with carrots, coriander leaves & anti cancer properties as both ginger & garlic are very good for health.
