Potato Cutlet recipe| Aloo cutlet, with video and step wise pictures, a popular snack of India made using potatoes, a super hit in parties. Potato cutlet is something, that I have attempted making a few times without any specific recipe or protocol. Since my family members loved it each time they insisted on me making this for my son’s 5th birthday. No wonder it turned out to be a super hit. I made it in large quantities and hence deep fried the cutlets. For health conscious or elderly people, this recipe can be tried using shallow fry method. Since my son’s birthday falls on a Valentine’s day, I tried making heart shaped cutlets. It was slightly time consuming but his smile was very much worth the effort. You can try making them into round or oblong shaped ones. If you are craving for a slightly different taste then you can also try making the sweet potato cutlet or for a more crispy outcome you can try making the Semiya cutlets.

Method with step by step pictures :
- Boil the potatoes in pressure cooker very softly.
- When it is done, pass it through cold water and peel the skin.
- Pat dry them.
- Mash it nicely with your hand or a potato masher.
- Alternatively you can grate the potatoes too.
- Never run this through a mixie.
- Add the mashed the potato in a bowl.
- Add the red chili powder, coriander powder, 1/2 tsp chaat masala and garam masala.
- Add salt to taste, the cashew nut bits and coriander leaves.
- Cashew nuts can be replaced with peanuts too.
- Add the Sathu mavu or ragi flour. You can add plain flour| maida too.
- Mix well using a dry hands.
- Ensure there is no lumps and there is no moisture.
- Make this into a thick ball.
- I used heart shaped cookie cutter to make this potato cutlet.
- You can make this into round shape or oblong shape too.
- Take a lemon sized ball of the potato mixture.
- Press this into the cookie cutter.
- Pat them gently and press it well.
- Invert on a plate and gently push it from behind.
- As we greased the cookie cutter it will easily come out.
- Repeat this for the rest of the potato mixture.
- In a bowl add corn flour, pepper powder and 1/2 tsp chaat masala.
- Add water and make it a thin paste.
- Dip the potato patties in cornflour mixture and immediately roll them on bread crumbs.
- Roll generously and arrange them in a plate.
- Keep it refrigerated for 15 minutes.
- If using for the next day, cover it and keep it in the fridge overnight.
- Heat oil and when it is hot, bring it to medium.
- Fry the cutlets in batches. Cook on both sides till golden brown.
- Once done, take out and drain the excess oil in a kitchen towel.
- Repeat this for the rest of the potato patties.
- Potato cutlets are ready.
- Serve with Kebeb chutney or tomato ketchup.
Notes:
- If you are using cookie cutter just grease the cutter with oil before pressing.
- You can keep it in the fridge for a longer time also.
- I made them on the previous day and fried on the next day only.
- If you don’t have breadcrumbs, just roast the bread in tawa without oil. Roast it nicely and powder them in the mixie.
- Potato cutlet is a perfect crowd pleaser and party snack recipe.

why maida is needed to be added in potato mixture.
when i dipped in corn flour batter, i was feeling my cutlet was soggy
Maida is added to tighten the mixture and to remove the excess moisture. If it is tight it won't be soggy after dipping in corn flour mixture. Roll them over the bread crumbs
Dis cutlets are really tasty n crispy……..! My all house members liked it…! <3
I tried it making @ home ……! I enjoyed making,………! Thank you!!
Nice cute crispy n crunchy cutlets
Just a small confusipn. Is it maida batter or courn flour batter we have to dip in tne cutlets?? Thanks, Rajitha
Sorry for the confusion. I changed in the post too. You have to dip in corn flour batter

hi jayashri, thanks for the recipe. just wanted to know, is there any advantage of keeping it in the fridge,?
Keeping it in the fridge makes it more firm and will never turn soggy while frying. Thanks for the message
Did tried it out.it was fantabulous
