Ingredients
  • 1 pound Potatoes
  • 2 tablespoon Ghee; --or -- butter
  • 1 lg Onion; finely chopped
  • 2 Green Chili peppers; chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic; chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Flour
  • 1/2 lemon Lemon juice
  • 2 large Eggs; beaten
  • 1/2 cup Flour; or bread crumbs for coating
  • 1/4 cup Vegetable oil; for frying
Directions
  1. 1
    Peel and cube the potatoes, then boil them in salted water until tender. Drain well and mash until smooth, allowing them to cool slightly.
  2. 2
    In a skillet, heat the ghee or butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion, green chilies, and garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent and soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3
    Add the ground cumin to the skillet and stir for another minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.
  4. 4
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the onion mixture, beaten eggs, lemon juice, and the teaspoon of flour. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  5. 5
    Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into flat oval or round cutlets, about 1/2 inch thick.
  6. 6
    Place additional flour or bread crumbs on a shallow plate. Coat each cutlet evenly, pressing gently to adhere.
  7. 7
    Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the cutlets in batches, turning once, until both sides are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  8. 8
    Transfer the fried cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
