SOYA CUTLETS
My husband loves cutlets. I usually prepare them once a week but I was worried about all the carbs from the potatoes. I came upon this healthy version of the cutlets one day and the taste was simply yummy. In fact it tasted better than the regular potato cutlets. I used more carrots and soya granules and just one potato. If needed any other vegetables like cabbage, green beans can also be used. The bread crumbs used here are also whole wheat bread crumbs for health reasons. The measurements used here makes around 12 small cutlets.
INGREDIENTS:
Potato, medium-sized, 1.
Soya nuggets, 1 cu.
Carrots, medium-sized, 2.
Red onion, small, 1.
Chili powder, 1 teaspoon.
Salt as per taste.
Corn flour, 3 tablespoons.
Bread crumbs, 2cups.
PREPARATION:
Boil the potato for 15-20 minutes and mash it well without lumps. Take a cup of soy nuggets and put them in boiling water for 5 minutes until the nuggets are puffed up. Let them sit for 5 minutes, then rinse them well, drain them, and cut into very fine pieces or they can be minced well using a blender. Take care not to make them into a paste, just one or two pulses in the blender will be fine. Chop the onion into small pieces and the grate the carrots and keep aside. Mix the mashed potatoes, chopped onions, grated carrots, chopped soya nuggets, chili powder, salt and mix everything well. Make small patties out them and keep aside. Take the corn flour in a small and some ¼ cup water and make a batter. Take the bread crumbs in a pan. Heat a flat bottomed pan and create a work station arranging the plate with the patties first, the bowl with the corn flour batter next, and the bread crumbs plate next to that. When the pan is hot enough, add a teaspoon of oil and spread that evenly on the pan. Take a patty and immerse it in the corn flour batter. Then put it on the bread crumbs plate and cover the patty with the bread crumbs and put it on the hot pan. Add a teaspoon of oil over the top of the cutlet. Repeat the same with a few more patties until the pan is covered. There should be some space between the cutlets while cooking to move them around. Let then cook for 5-7 minutes until the side facing the pan is golden-brown and crisp. Flip all the patties to the other side and let them cook for another 5 minutes. Repeat the same with the remaining patties and serve the cutlets hot with tomato sauce.
