RECIPE VIDEO

Ingredients

• 1 cup thick/thin variety of poha (जाड़ा / पतला पोहा)

• 1 cup semolina (सूजी / रवा)

• 1/2 cup curd (दही)

• 1 medium onion (प्याज)

• 1 medium green bell pepper chopped (हरी शिमला मिर्च)

• 1/4 cup carrots grated (गाजर)

• 1/2 cup boiled peas (उबले मटर के दाने)

• 1/2 cup boiled corn kernels (उबले मकई के दाने)

• 3 tbsp Kashmiri red chilli powder (कश्मीरी लाल मिर्च पाउडर)

• 1/2 tbsp cumin powder (जीरा पाउडर)

• pinch of baking soda (बेकिंग सोडा)

• salt as per taste (नमक / मीठ)

• 2 tbsp coriander leaves chopped (धनिये के पत्ते )

• oil for greasing palms and shallow frying (तेल)

Method

• Wash the Poha thoroughly and drain all the water from it. The Poha will soak water and become soft. Keep them aside. I have used thick Poha for this recipe.

• Take 1 cup Semolina and add curd, soaked Poha, and a little water to a bowl. Mix everything well and let the mixture rest for 10-15 minutes.

• In the meantime, chop onion and bell pepper/capsicum finely. Grate the carrot and boil the green peas and corn kernels.

• After 15 minutes, add all the masalas, salt, and a little water to the Poha-Sooji mixture. Mix well.

• Then incorporate all the vegetables into it.

• Add a pinch of baking soda and freshly chopped coriander leaves to the mixture. Mix everything well.

• Oil your palms and make cutlets from the mixture.

• Shallow fry the cutlets, on both sides, on medium heat.

• Remove them on a kitchen paper towel to remove excess oil.

Notes -

• You can use thick or thin Poha for this recipe. I prefer to use the thick one.

• You can use veggies of your choice in these cutlets.

• These cutlets tend to become a little oily. So do not forget to remove them on a kitchen paper towel after shallow-frying them.

• The above quantity makes 16-17 medium size cutlets. Adjust the amount of ingredients according to your needs.
