Ingredients
- 3–4 chapati
- 1 cup boiled and mashed potatoes
- ¼ cup grated carrot
- ¼ cup green peas
- ¼ cup onions, finely chopped
- 2 green chillies, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons coriander leaves, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon red chilli powder
- ½ teaspoon carom seeds
- Salt to taste
- 1–2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons suji/rawa (for mixture) + 1 tablespoons (for coating)
- Oil for shallow frying
Instructions
- Start by breaking the leftover chapatis into small pieces and grind them to get a grainy mixture.
- Transfer the mixture into a mixing bowl.
- Add boiled mashed potatoes, onions, carrots, green peas, green chillies, coriander leaves, salt, red chilli, carom seeds, suji/rawa, and lemon juice into the grounded roti.
- Mix everything well using your hands and knead it to form like dough and set aside for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, apply a little oil in your palm and take a portion of the mixture and shape it into round or oval patties or any desired shape as you like.
- Heat some oil in a shallow pan or skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the cutlets in the pan.
- Fry and flip them over a couple of times till they are golden brown and crispy on both sides.
- This usually takes about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Remove the cutlets from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve the leftover chapati cutlets hot with your favourite chutney, ketchup, green chutney, or with tea.
Notes
- If you have leftover rotis, ensure they are at room temperature. If they are cold, you can warm them up in a microwave or on a griddle.
- The ratio of rotis to potatoes can vary depending on the quantity you have, but a common ratio is roughly 2:1 (rotis to potatoes).
- Adjust the spice level according to your preference.
- Make sure that the mixture is well combined and the roti and potato blend together evenly.
- You can make the patties as big or small as you like.
- Alternatively, you can bake the cutlets in the oven instead of frying.
- Additionally, you can add vegetables like beans, bell peppers, and paneer to the mixture to make it more nutritious,.
