Healthy Vegetable Cutlets

Gorgeous red beet patties

A long time ago, when I was very young and studying, I had gone to a friend of mine to help her with her course work. And of course her mom gave us snacks to eat and they turned out to be these gorgeous red colored patties which tasted a lot like fish fry but turned out to be humble vegetable cutlets.
Fast forward 12-13 years later when I develop this sudden hankering for the same taste. I still remember that taste:) So off i went and tinkered about in my kitchen and came up with these vegetable cutlets which can be eaten as a snack or if you really fatten up the cutlets and put them between a bun, they are your main course veggie burgers.

Recipe:
2 small beets, grated
2 carrots, grated
1/4 of small cabbage, grated
1/4 of small cauliflower, grated
1 cup peas
1 cup green beans
2 medium potatoes
all the veggies should be more or less equal, if quantity varies, dont worry.
1 Tbs ginger garlic paste
salt to taste
1 tsp red chili powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp garam masala
handful breadcrumbs
rice flour for dredging
oil for frying

Procedure:
Dry roast all the grated veggies. Cover and let it steam. Add peas and mashed potatoes and all the other ingredients except for oil and rice flour. Mix well. Form patties. Dredge in rice flour and shallow fry. Makes around 40 small patties. Freezes well.
Serve hot with ketchup.
If you want a great veggies burger, make a big patty and shallow fry well. Put it between 2 buns with tomato, onion cucumbers and other condiments.
