Author:
Ingredients
  • Bread crumbs: ¾ cup,
  • Boiled mashed potatoes (yellow or white): 1 cup,
  • Vermicelli: ½ cup,
  • Crushed peanuts: ¼ cup,
  • Chopped green chilly: 1,
  • Lemon juice: ½ tbs,
  • Salt: To taste,
  • Oil for deep frying cutlets
Instructions
  1. In boiling water add little salt and vermicelli.
  2. Cook it for 3-4 minutes till vermicelli becomes soft.
  3. Strain the water and let vermicelli cool down for some time.
  4. In a separate bowl, take cold vermicelli, bread crumbs, boiled mashed potatoes, green chilly, crushed peanut , lemon juice and salt.
  5. Mix together and make smooth dough.
  6. Take small ball size dough and make patties from it. If dough is sticky add some more bread crumbs.
  7. Heat oil to medium high and deep fry patties till they become golden brown.
  8. Sprinkle some chat masala and enjoy them hot.
Notes
1. Whenever you are using potatoes for frying use only yellow or white potatoes.
2. After boiling the potatoes do not leave them in water for long time otherwise they will absorb extra water which is not good when you are using potatoes for deep frying.
3. I prefer using homemade bread crumbs. Just break the bread in small pieces and grind them in mixer.
4. If you feel the mixture is loose and you cannot make patties use some more bread crumbs.
5. These cutlets taste best when they are hot.
