Palak Oats Cutlet

Quick ,easy and tasty evening snack which not only turns out delicious but also has a healthy quotient attached to it.Palak Oats cutlet was born from the leftovers of my pantry but the humble Spinach and multipurpose Oats adds a new flavor and dimension to the normal potato laden cutlets !

Replace the starch laden potatoes with whole wheat bread or boiled chana or boiled moong dal.Good bye Potatoes..My cutlets are healthy now.Shallow frying or oven baking procedure will make the recipe even more healthy.Opt to deep fry for any special occasions or parties.There will be remarkable difference in texture and taste if deep fried..but Calories...Whhhaaat ??!!




Ok now,I ll give a list of ingredients I used here.Feel free to get the creative brains working and you can workout a whole totally new recipe.


Ingredients & Procedure

Oats - 1/2 cup
Besan roasted - 3 to 4 tsp
Water as required
Salt to taste
Ajwain - 1 tsp
Roasted rava - 2 tsps

Soak the above with less water to be just right for the oats to be soaked.Leave it aside for 10 mins or so.


Chop the below items

1. Spinach 1 bunch chopped finely
2. Green chillies as per taste or optional-Use red chilli powder instead
3. Brown bread slices 4 to 5 soaked in water for 2 secs and squeezed.Mash it with fingers
4. Ginger optional few pieces chopped finely
5. Corainder finely chopped


Keep the seasonings ready

1.Garam masala 1tsp
2.Turmeric a pinch
3.Coriander powder 1 tsp
4. Amchur or dry mango powder a pinch for that extra zing

Top it with white sesame seeds for the extra crunch on top !

What Next
  • Now mix the finely chopped items and all the seasonings to the oats-besan-rava  mixture and mash nicely with your hands..(Best !!).If you feel the mixture is soggy, add few more torn dry slices of bread and mix it well.
  • Add 2 tsps. of oil to the mixture so that the entire thing comes together as a dough-type.
  • Shape it in the form of cutlets.if greasy use little oil to shape .Sprinkle white sesame seeds on top.
  • Shallow fry these delicious cutlets on medium flame until the inside is cooked well and the outer surface is golden brown in color or deep fry as per your demands
No need any coating like Maida, the bread will give a good binding texture to the cutlets.

Serve it piping hot with mint-coriander chutney or the usual ketchup!Enjoy.Have a Cutlety Day !!
