Cutlets ready for frying
cutlets ready to eat
INGREDIENTS
sweet potato 2 small
moong dal 1/2 cup
onion 2 medium size
rice flour roughly 1/2 cup or as needed
turmeric pdr 1/2 tsp
salt and chili pdr to taste
chaat masala 1/2 tsp
alwain/ carom seeds 1/2 tsp
oil for frying
METHOD
wash, peel and chop sweet potato in water or else it gets dark
wash it well, add to your pressure pan or cooker
wash moong dal and add to the sweet potato, add just enough water to cover them to cook well and I added 1/2 tsp of turmeric pdr. I pressure cooked in pressure pan for 4 whistles, as it whistles very fast.
once I'ld open my pressure pan, mashed the dal and sweet potato well with the mashed
I finely chopped 2 small onions and added along with rice flour, salt, chili pdr, chaat masala and ajwain
mixed it all well, you may roll in breadcrumbs, but once you add rice flour, it gives it crispness, so I didn't want to add breadcrumbs. You may add little semolina/ suji too to get crispness
I deep fried in medium hot oil till brown on both sides.
It was crisp outside, but soft inside, served with ketchup. Or you may serve with chutney of your choice.
ps- though I did deep fry, it didn't take much oil.
You can use little semolina/ suji to get more crispness, or you can roll in suji instead of breadcrumbs and fry.
You can shallow fry too. I got 13 cutlets in all medium size.
