Spinach Cutlet

I am always in search of good spinach recipes. Few days ago, I was chatting with my sister in law and asked her if she had any good recipes with it. She gave me a cutlet recipe. The following is inspired by that. It can be served as a starter at parties too. They get ready very fast and have a great taste.

Ingredients:
1 cup finely chopped spinach
1/4 cup finely chopped coriander leaves
1 and 1/2 cups boiled,mashed potatoes
1 tbl spn rice flour
3 green chilies ground into paste
1 tea spn ginger paste
1 tea spn garlic paste
1 tea spn pav bhaji masala (or garam masala)
Oil
Salt
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.

Serves : 2-3
Preparation time : 20mins

  7. I love the idea of adding a handful of spinach leaves to everything. For me its carrots, I add some grated carrots to pretty much everything I make :-).

    Hey Shilpa

    Can I substitue Suji/Rava with besan. I am gluten intolerant and cannot eat anything that has wheat, rye or barley in it..The cutlets look yummy and I would definitely wanna try them:)

    • Shilpa

      you can use bread crumbs. Besan may give a slight different taste, but I think it will be good too

    Aayi, I noticed there is a wordpress blogger out there that has stolen quite of few food blogger posts and is publishing without permission or links back to our blogs. I left a request that I be removed. I thought you’d like knowing your posts were on the list as well. Hopefully they will remove our posts.
