How To Make Beetroot Cutlet

1. Firstly, heat a tablespoon of oil in a kadai or pan.

2. Add ginger garlic and add onions to it. Sauté on medium flame.

3. After a few seconds add chopped carrot, beans, capsicum, and salt. Sauté till the liquids dry from the veggies. Then, turn off the heat and let mixture cool.

4. Now in a mixing bowl add boiled potatoes, beetroot, sautéed vegetables, chopped chillies, chopped coriander, salt, coriander powder, chilli powder, amchur powder, chat masala powder, cumin powder, roasted gram flour and bread crumbs.

5. Combine well so that all the ingredients are mixed.

6. Make balls and shape into round patties/cutlets.You could use molds for fancy shapes.

7. Slurry: Prepare a slurry using refined flour and water. Dip each patty in the slurry and coat with breadcrumbs and place on a greased plate. Dipping in slurry is a sure-shot step that the cutlets will not split in oil when deep frying. Since here, we are shallow frying, so let’s keep this step optional. In that case, you could just coat the tikki with breadcrumbs and proceed to next step.

8. Shallow fry the cutlets. Drain on absorbent paper. Serve with tomato ketchup or coriander chutney. 

What to serve with

Serve with tomato ketchup or Coriander Mint Chutney or Hot Chili Garlic Chutney. Enjoy with freshly brewed Coffee, Kadak Chai or Cardamom Caffe Latte.
