aloo cutlet recipe | potato cutlet | crispy alu suji cutlet with detailed photo and video recipe. an easy and simple deep fried tea time snack, prepared with boiled potatoes and other dry spices. these cutlets are crispy with the outer layer and soft and spicy within its inner layer. apart from consuming as a snack, it can also be used for other purposes like patties, chaats, sandwiches and even for chapathi based frankie or rolls.
i have shared quite a few vegetables and grain-based cutlet recipe for vegetarian’s, but aloo cutlet recipe is very special. generally, most of my readers struggle while shaping the veggie based cutlet because of the moisture and starch. and hence we backfill it with mashed potatoes to absorb the moisture and to hold the shape. however, this recipe is predominantly based out of boiled potatoes and hence it should negate the shaping problem. the other added advantage of potato cutlet is its usage versatility. most commonly i use it as a snack served with tomato ketchup but can also be used as patties for burger and sandwiches. in addition i even extend it by preparing a chaat recipe very similar to aloo tikki chaat recipe.
while the aloo cutlet recipe is extremely simple to prepare, yet i would like to add some tips and recommendations. firstly, once the potatoes are boiled in water, remove them immediately and place them on a plate. otherwise, it may absorb water and moisture and you would not be able to shape it properly. secondly, i have used breadcrumbs to coat the cutlet before deep frying them. alternatively, you can also use rava, oats powder and even toast powder for the same reason. lastly, these cutlets taste great when deep fried as it would evenly cook. however, you can also opt for pan fry for less oil consumption and to make it healthy.
