Ingredients for Cutlets
- 2 cups Sweet Potatoes (Boiled, Peeled and Mashed)
- ¾ cup Carrot finely grated
- ½ cup Sweet Corn
- ½ cup Capsicum finely chopped
- ½ cup Green Peas Steamed
- ½ cup Quick Cooking Oats Or Instant Oats
- 1 tbsp Ginger Paste
- 1 ½ tbsp Oil For Air frying cutlets or use cooking spray
- Salt to taste
- 2 to 3 tbsp Cilantro or Coriander Leaves (finely chopped)
Spices
- 1 tsp Kashmiri Red chilli powder
- 1 ½ tsp Garam Masala Powder
- ½ tsp Turmeric Powder
- ¼ tsp Chaat Masala Powder
- ½ tsp Amchur Powder or Dry Mango Powder
1 cup is 250 ml, 1 tablespoon 15ml, 1 teaspoon 5 ml
Instructions
- In a wide bowl, add boiled and mashed sweet potatoes, cooked peas, steamed sweet corn, grated carrots and finely chopped capsicum.
- Add all the spices, ginger paste, quick cooking oats and salt to taste.
- Now add the finely chopped coriander leaves (I have used stems as well) and mix well.
- Divide and make equal portion of the cutlet mixture and shape them into "oval" shape. At this point, you can freeze the cutlets or air fry as required.
- Pre-heat the Air Fryer for 5 mins at 200 degree Celsius. Spray / brush the basket lightly with some some oil.
- Place 12 cutlets in the air fryer basket, brush or spray oil and cook them for 15 minutes at 200 Degree C.
- Open the basket and turn the cutlets using a pair of tongs (after 8 odd minutes) for even cooking. Air fry them until golden brown.
- Once cooked, remove onto a plate, serve hot with accompaniment of your choice.
Notes
- Do not over crowd the basket or avoid placing the cutlets one above the other to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Always preheat your Air Fryer (similar to oven) for atleast 5 minutes before placing items to air fry.
- I have used sesame oil for air frying the cutlets. You can use vegetable oil, olive oil, avocado oil as required.
- Kashmiri Red Chilli Powder is added mainly for the colour and not spice. I have not used any green chillies either since I was serving the cutlets with a spicy green chutney.
- Adjust spices according to your taste buds and preferences.
