- Place the potatoes, carrot, green beans, and peas in a pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 15 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Drain vegetables, transfer to a bowl, and mash with a potato masher, leaving a few small chunks.
- Mix the egg, 3/4 cup bread crumbs, garam masala, cayenne pepper, and salt into the bowl with the mashed vegetables. Form the mixture into small patties about 1/2 inch thick. Dredge the patties in the remaining bread crumbs to coat.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and fry the coated patties until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Steps:
- Mash the potatoes along with the bread slices.
- (It is better to mash potatoes while they are still hot.) Add all the seasonings.
- Sauté the green peas, carrots, and cabbage in 1 tablespoon oil; cook until tender and dry; mix with the potato mash and make like a hard dough.
- Make a thin mixture of gram flour (or all-purpose flour) by adding about 1/3 cup water.
- Take small balls of the potato vegetable mixture on palm of your hand and make into oval or round patties.
- Wet the patties in the flour solution, roll in the bread crumbs, and deep fry at high heat (cutlets tend to break on low heat) until golden brown on all sides.
- Drain the cutlets on paper towels.
- Serve hot with'Mint Coriander Chutney' or ketchup.
- Healthy Alternative: Instead of deep frying, brown the cutlets in a wide skillet on low to medium heat, using a teaspoon of oil on both sides.
- Or arrange the patties on a well greased cookie sheet; bake in the pre heated oven at 375 to 400°F for 20 minutes.
- Turn, adding more oil as needed.
- Bake for another 15 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables: Use a combination of vegetables that will hold their shape well when cooked, such as potatoes, carrots, peas, and beans. Avoid vegetables that are too soft or watery, such as tomatoes or cucumbers.
- Grate the vegetables finely: This will help them to bind together better and prevent the cutlets from falling apart.
- Add some flour or bread crumbs: This will help to absorb moisture and make the cutlets more firm.
- Season the cutlets well: Use a variety of herbs and spices to give the cutlets flavor. Some good options include garlic, onion, paprika, cumin, and coriander.
- Chill the cutlets before cooking: This will help them to hold their shape better.
- Cook the cutlets over medium heat: This will prevent them from burning.
- Serve the cutlets with a dipping sauce: This will add extra flavor and moisture.
