Ingredients needed
Poha/aval – 1 cup
Potatoes – 1/2 cup boiled and grated
Carrot – 1 medium size
Green chilli – 1 finely chopped
Ginger garlic paste – 1/2 tsp
Coriander leaves – 2 tbsp finely chopped
Thick Curd/plain yogurt – 1 tbsp
Salt needed
Spice Powder
Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp
Chilli powder – 1/4 tsp
Garam Masala Powder – 1/4 tsp
Oil for shallow frying
Preparation
Rinse poha twice and drain the water completely. Keep it aside. I used thin white poha.
Wash, peel the skin and grate carrot finely. Boil, peel the skin and grate potatoes.
Method
In a bowl, combine together soaked poha, grated potato, grated carrot, chillies and coriander leaves.
Add all the spice powder, salt needed and thick curd/plain yogurt. Mix well.
Divide the mixture equally and make smooth balls from it. Then flatten it to form patties.
Heat a tawa, place the prepared patties and drizzle 1-2 tsp of oil around the patties.
Cook both sides until golden brown on low heat. It will take time. If you prefer, you can even deep fry.
Serve hot with green chutney or tomato ketchup.
Variation – You may add grated beetroot instead of carrot. You can add chaat masala or any herbs of your choice.

Hi,
Easy one to try. Can we use thick poha, if so shud we soak it?
Can I use thick poha for this?
Going to try definitely
@Anu -@Ramaa Lakshman – You can use thick poha. Rinse it twice, drain the water and keep it aside for a few minutes. It should be soft but without water.If there is water, you will have difficulty in making cutlets.
