How to make Cutlets-
1)Cook the potato till fork tender. Remove the skin and mash them. Grate the carrot, finely chop the onion, bell pepper and spinach.
2) In a large bowl add the potato, cooked quinoa, brown rice, carrot, onion, sweet corn, bell pepper, spinach, salt, red chili powder, cumin powder,garam masala, chaat masala (optional) and lemon juice.
3) Using a fork mash all the ingredients until well combined.
4) At this point you can add some red chilly sauce and bread crumbs. They are optional but definitely add the bread crumbs if the mixture is falling apart.
5) Take a small portion of the mixture and make a patty. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
6) Heat a skillet ( I used non stick skillet), add a tea spoon of oil and pan fry the cutlets on both sides.
7) Cook on medium heat on both sides. The cutlets will be slightly soft when done, let rest for five minutes to firm up.
