Instructions
Prepare the Cutlet Mixture
- Combine the mashed potatoes, mashed green peas, spinach puree, ginger-garlic paste, green chili, salt, and coriander in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Shape the Cutlets
- Divide the mixture into small, equal-sized portions. Shape each portion into a flat, round patty.
Coat the Cutlets
- In a separate shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs and semolina. Coat each cutlet evenly with the breadcrumb-semolina mixture.

- Heat the oil in a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the cutlets in the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. This should take approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
Serve
- Remove the cutlets from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Spinach and Potato Cutlets
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of garam masala or other Indian spices to the cutlet mixture.
- If you prefer less oily cutlets, you can bake them in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- To prevent the cutlets from sticking to the pan, ensure that the oil is hot enough before adding them.
- Adjust the amount of green chili according to your spice preference. You can even omit it entirely if you prefer a milder flavor.
