Ingredients
For the Oats Mixture
Spices
- ½ tsp Chili Powder red
- ½ tsp Garam Masala
- ½ tsp Chaat Masala
- ½ tsp Salt or to taste
For Cooking
- ½ cup Oil for shallow frying
Instructions
- Dry roast the rolled oats in a pan over medium heat until fragrant. This enhances their nutty flavor and creates a crispier texture. Set the toasted oats aside.
- Heat a little oil in the same pan. Add the green chiles, onion, and carrot. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the carrot softens slightly.
- Add the red chili powder, garam masala, chaat masala, and salt. Sauté for another minute to bloom the spices, allowing their flavors to fully develop.
- Add the mashed potatoes and continue to sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring well to combine everything.
- Stir in the toasted rolled oats and cilantro. Mix thoroughly until everything is well incorporated.
- Divide the mixture into small, equal portions. Shape each portion into a round, flat cutlet.
- Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat. Place the cutlets in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Cook the cutlets for a few minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Flipping them ensures even cooking and a beautiful crust.
- Remove the crispy oats cutlets from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve the hot cutlets with your favorite dipping sauces, such as tomato ketchup or green chutney. They're perfect with an evening cup of tea or coffee.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra crispiness, lightly toast the rolled oats in a dry skillet before mixing them into the cutlet mixture—this intensifies their nutty flavor and helps the cutlets hold their shape better.
- If you prefer a gluten-free version, bind the mixture using chickpea flour (besan) instead of regular breadcrumbs; this also adds a subtle earthy taste.
- Shape the cutlets and freeze them on a tray for 30 minutes before shallow frying—this helps them retain their form and develop a crunchier crust.
- Serve with a contrasting dip like tangy mint chutney or sweet date-tamarind chutney to balance the spicy flavors of the cutlets.
- You can deep fry the cutlets if you prefer.
Expert Tips
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying. Work in batches to ensure even cooking and a crispy crust.
- For a richer flavor, consider adding finely grated Parmesan cheese or a sprinkle of nutritional yeast to the cutlet mixture.
- Adjust the spices to your preference. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra heat or a dash of smoked paprika for a smoky depth.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover cutlets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a dry skillet or oven until warmed through and crispy.
