Spinach Cutlets

If you have traveled by rail in India you would have very likely come across vendors selling aloo cutlets in the rail cars. I absolutely loved those cutlets as a child. They were one of the reasons I would look forward to traveling by trains. A year or so ago I was craving that delicious childhood treat and decided to try making some at home. I made these cutlets and served it in between a slice of white bread and some ketchup. It made me so nostalgic. Here is the recipe I came up with :-

Serves : 2-3

Ingredients:
1 cup finely chopped spinach (frozen with water squeezed out is fine too)
1/4 cup finely chopped coriander leaves
1 1/2 cups boiled, mashed potatoes
1 tblspn all purpose flour
3 green chilies ground into paste
1 tspn ginger paste
1 tspn garlic paste
1 tspn pav bhaji masala (or garam masala)
Oil
Salt and sugar - to taste
Sooji/rava

Method:
Mix all the ingredients except sooji/rava. Make into ping pong sized balls.
Press each ball into cutlets. Roll these cutlets in sooji/rava.
Spread some oil on a tava and shallow fry the cutlets. Serve hot.
