Poha and veg cutlets

Ingredients:

1 cup poha (beaten rice),
4 big potatoes,
1/4 kg matar (green peas),
1 spoon cumin seeds,
1 tsp red chilly powder,
1/2 tsp turmeric,
 1 tsp coriander powder,
1 tsp garam masala powder,
2 tsps ginger- garlic paste,
2 tsps green chilly-
 coriander leaves paste,
oil for frying,
1 medium sized onion chopped finely
, salt to taste.

Method;

Wash and soak poha in water until it becomes very soft. Knead it nicely like you knead flour. Cover it with a wet cloth and keep aside. Boil potatoes. When cooked remove them from water and keep them under fan until it cools. Peel them and cut them.Peel, wash and boil the green peas until they are soft. When cooked, remove them from water and let them dry a little. In a pan, put 1 tbsp of oil and add cumin seeds and when they change their colour add the finely chopped onions. Don't allow the cumin seeds to become black. Saute onions until they change their colour. Then add the ginger- garlic and green chilly- coriander leaves paste and all the masalas. On a low flame keep stirring until their aroma comes out. Now add the potatoes and green peas and some coriander leaves. Cook it for 15 minutes on low flame. Remove it from flame and allow it to cool. When cool, mix it with the poha. Make medium sized balls and press them gently with your palm. Now in a pan put little oil each time before placing the cutlets in it.When one side changes colour turn and cook the other side also the same way. Serve hot with pudina chutney.
