This recipe for Cabbage and Potato Veg Cutlets specifically utilizes pre-cooked cabbage subji and boiled potatoes, which are common staples in many households. By combining the spiced, tender cabbage with the starchy goodness of mashed potatoes, you create a patty that is bursting with complex Indian flavors without the need for extensive prep work. The key to the perfect Cabbage and Potato Veg Cutlets lies in the texture; the exterior should be crisp and golden brown, while the interior remains soft and savory. This dish is not only a great way to reduce food waste but also serves as an excellent appetizer for guests or a quick lunch for the family.

Remember to mash the potatoes while they are still slightly warm for the best consistency, and ensure your pan is hot enough to achieve that signature crust.

Ingredients

  • 250 g Boiled Potatoes (2 medium potatoes)
  • 1 cup Cabbage Subji
  • 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 0.25 tsp Salt

Instructions

  1. 1
    Peel and thoroughly mash the boiled potatoes in a large mixing bowl until no large lumps remain.
  2. 2
    Add the leftover cabbage subji to the mashed potatoes. If the subji has large pieces of cabbage, give it a quick chop before adding.
  3. 3
    Add the cornstarch, half of the breadcrumbs, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until the mixture holds its shape when pressed.
  4. 4
    Divide the mixture into 6-8 equal portions and shape them into round or oval patties (cutlets).
  5. 5
    Coat each patty lightly with the remaining breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
  6. 6
    Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  7. 7
    Place the cutlets in the pan and shallow fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
  8. 8
    Remove and drain on paper towels before serving hot.

Chef's Tips

  • If the mixture feels too wet to shape, add another tablespoon of breadcrumbs.
  • Since the cabbage subji is already seasoned, taste the mixture before adding extra salt.
  • You can add finely chopped green chilies or fresh cilantro if you want extra heat and freshness.
