Crispy, spiced vegetable patties made from leftover cabbage subji and potatoes, coated in crunchy semolina for a perfect golden crust.
If you are looking for the perfect way to transform leftovers, these Cabbage and Potato Veg Cutlets are the ultimate solution. This recipe for Cabbage and Potato Veg Cutlets breathes new life into your pre-cooked cabbage subji and boiled potatoes, turning them into a crispy, golden-brown snack that everyone will love. One of the best things about making Cabbage and Potato Veg Cutlets is the versatility of the coating; while many recipes call for bread crumbs, we are using semolina (sooji) to achieve a superior, long-lasting crunch that stays firm even after the cutlets cool down. The flavors of the spiced cabbage subji meld perfectly with the creamy texture of the mashed boiled potatoes, creating a filling that is both comforting and nutritious. By using semolina as a replacement for bread crumbs, you get a unique sandy texture that mimics professional catering-style appetizers. These cutlets are excellent for meal prep, as they can be shaped ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen. Whether you serve them with a spicy mint chutney or a simple tomato ketchup, these cutlets are a testament to how creative cooking can reduce food waste while delivering high-end flavor. The addition of fresh cilantro and a hint of garam masala ensures every bite is packed with aromatic Indian spices.
Ingredients
- 2 medium Boiled Potatoes (about 300g)
- 1 cup Cabbage Subji (about 150g)
- 0.5 cup Semolina (Sooji) (about 80g)
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 0.5 tsp Garam Masala
- 2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro (a small handful)
- 3 tbsp Vegetable Oil
Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, peel and thoroughly mash the boiled potatoes until no large lumps remain.
- 2Add the cabbage subji, garam masala, cornstarch, and chopped fresh cilantro to the mashed potatoes.
- 3Mix everything together well. Taste the mixture; since the cabbage subji is already seasoned, you may not need extra salt, but add a pinch if necessary.
- 4Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into small round or oval patties (cutlets).
- 5Place the semolina (sooji) on a flat plate. Press each cutlet firmly into the semolina (sooji), ensuring all sides are evenly coated. This is your crunchy replacement for bread crumbs.
- 6Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- 7Place the cutlets in the pan and shallow fry for 3–4 minutes per side, or until the semolina (sooji) crust turns deep golden brown and crispy.
- 8Remove and drain on a paper towel before serving hot.
Chef's Tips
- •If the mixture feels too wet to shape, add an extra tablespoon of cornstarch or a little bit of the semolina into the dough.
- •For an even crunchier crust, you can dip the patties in a thin slurry of flour and water before rolling them in the semolina.
- •Other great replacements for bread crumbs include crushed cornflakes, desiccated coconut, or even finely chopped nuts.
