Sweet Potato N Corn Cutlets

Ever since i ate sweet potato chaat in Delhi (thanks to a friend), i've been dying to experiment with this versatile veggie....these super-simple-to-make cutlets are perfect for rainy/cold evenings with a cup of chai.


                                  

                    

Ingredients:

1 medium sized sweet potato
a handful of sweet/regular corn
1/2 spoon each of garam masala, jeera, turmeric, and amchur
2 chillies roughly chopped
salt to taste
a splash of lime juice

Method:

Par boil the sweet potato (i dunked it in a bowl of water and microwaved for 4 minutes). Peel it and grate/chop roughly. Put this mixute and the rest of the ingredients into a blender and roughly blend till the corn kernels are crushed.

Heat a tava and spread oil on it with the back of a spoon. Shape cutlets from the mixture and roast on the tava till the cutlets are crisp on both sides (alternatively, you can coat the cutlets by dipping in a paste of cornflour and then breadcrumbs and deep-fry it).

Serve these with sauce/mint chutney.

  3. Supritha..it turned out great kane! we all loved it. Janya said "yummy"! My husband couldn't stop eating it. I made very slight changes, instead of green chillies I added a pinch of chilli powder, that's because I didn't want Janya to think chillies as green beans. By the way she loves beans lol. I coated it with Panko(Japanese bread crumbs) for a golden brown crust...shallow fried it on tava.
