Soya Cashew Cutlet

Ingredients: for the Cutlets:

1. Soya chunks (badi) 50 g

2. Cashew nut 12

3. Potato 1 medium

4. Paneer (cottage cheese) 10 g

5. Onion 1 big 

6. Garlic 2 pods

7. Ginger 1 tiny piece

8. Green Chilli 1 (to taste)

9. Salt to taste

10. Garam masala powser half tsp 

11. Fresh Coriander leaves (I didn't have, so couldn't add)

12. Oil for frying

Ingredients: for the Batter: 

1. Egg 1

2. Flour 3 tbsp

3. Corn Flour 3 tbsp

4. Refined oil 1 tbs

5. Salt to taste

6. Water 1 tbsp (or little more if too thick)

Method: to make the Cutlets:

Boil Soya chunks in water till tender. Drain and let it cool. Squeeze the water out completely. Mash with hand if you like to bite tiny pieces like meat or grind in a grinder for a very smooth paste. Tastes great both ways. 

Boil Potato. Let it cool. Take off skin.   

Grind Cashew, may leave it coarse if you like to chew a few tiny pieces in the Cutlet. 

Mash Paneer 

Chop Onion, Ginger, Garlic, Green Chilli, Coriander leaves

Mix all the ingredients for Cutlets together except oil. Mix well. Check salt. 

Make 12 equal portions (I made 11 Cutlets), roll on your palm and flatten them. Make all the Cutlets and keep. 

Method to make the Batter: 

Mix all the ingredients for the Batter. Mix well. 

Now heat oil, dip the Cutlets in the Batter and fry on medium to low flame. 

I shallow fried the Cutlets. But can be deep fried to get tastier Cutlets.
