Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Greens
Chop the spinach into smaller pieces. Add the chopped spinach to a large basin filled with water for washing.
Step 2: Chop and Wash Coriander
Chop the fresh coriander. Add the chopped coriander to the basin with the spinach and wash both thoroughly by hand under running water.
Step 3: Boil Potatoes
Place a large pot on the outdoor fire and add water. Once the water is boiling, add the small potatoes and boil them until they are tender.
Step 4: Remove Boiled Potatoes
Carefully remove the boiled potatoes from the pot using a slotted spoon and set them aside.
Step 5: Boil Greens and Peas
Add fresh water to the same pot and bring it to a boil. Add the washed spinach and coriander, followed by the green peas. Stir and boil until the greens and peas are tender.
Step 6: Remove Boiled Greens and Peas
Using a slotted spoon, remove the boiled spinach, coriander, and green peas from the pot and set them aside.
Step 7: Prepare Potato Base
Grate the boiled potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Ensure they are finely grated for a smooth texture.
Step 8: Grind Greens and Peas
Transfer the boiled spinach, coriander, and green peas into a grinder. Grind them into a smooth green paste.
Step 9: Combine Ingredients
Add the ground green paste to the grated potatoes in the large mixing bowl. Then, add salt, red chili powder, cumin powder, and coriander powder.
Step 10: Add Gram Flour and Mix
Add the gram flour (besan) to the mixture. Using your hands, thoroughly mix all the ingredients until a uniform, firm green dough is formed.
Step 11: Form Patties
Take small portions of the dough and roll them into round, flat patties. Continue until all the dough is used.
Step 12: Garnish Patties
Press one cashew nut into the center of each patty for garnish.
Step 13: Heat Oil for Frying
Pour cooking oil into a large frying pan placed over the fire. Heat the oil until it is hot and shimmering.
Step 14: Fry Patties
Carefully place the green patties into the hot oil. Fry them in batches, using tongs to flip them, until they turn golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Step 15: Serve
Remove the fried patties from the oil and place them on a serving tray. Serve the hot spinach and potato cutlets with ketchup.
