Crispy and Healthy Snack in Minutes: Kabita’s Veg Cutlet Recipe Is Quick, Easy, and Delicious

In today’s fast-paced life, a flavorful snack with evening tea can instantly lift your spirits. While store-bought snacks are often unhealthy, homemade treats offer freshness and nutrition. Kabita’s Kitchen shares a simple and healthy veg cutlet recipe that is not only quick to make but also packed with vegetables, making it a wholesome snack for all ages.

Veg Cutlets: A Customizable Favorite

Veg cutlets are a beloved snack for children and adults alike. The recipe can be customized with your choice of vegetables. Boiled potatoes and paneer create a smooth, creamy base, while carrots and capsicum add a satisfying crunch. This makes the cutlets flavorful, nutritious, and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients and Preparation

• Vegetables & Base: 4 boiled and mashed potatoes, ½ cup grated paneer, finely chopped carrots, capsicum, onion, green chili, and fresh coriander. The paneer gives the mixture a rich, creamy texture.
• Spices & Flavor: Chili flakes, oregano, black pepper, salt to taste, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Lemon balances the richness of potatoes and paneer, adding a fresh tang. Mix everything well by hand to form a smooth dough.
• Shaping: Apply a little oil to your hands to prevent sticking. Shape the mixture into round or slightly flattened patties.

Coating and Double Layering

• Batter: In a separate bowl, mix 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and 4 tablespoons of cornflour with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Gradually add water to make a thick batter.
• Bread Crumbs: Dip each cutlet in the batter, then coat evenly with bread crumbs. For extra crispiness, repeat this coating process. Store in an airtight container in the fridge if preparing in advance.

Frying or Air-Frying

Heat oil in a pan and deep-fry the cutlets on medium heat until golden and crispy. For a healthier version, you can also use an air fryer. Serve hot with mint chutney or tomato ketchup for a perfect snack.

Kabita’s veg cutlet recipe is ideal for quick evening snacks, sudden guests, or even children’s small hunger pangs, offering a crispy, flavorful, and healthy treat in minutes.
