Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Blanch Vegetables

   Place the mixed vegetables (carrots, beans, peas, broccoli, cauliflower, corn) in a bowl and pour hot water over them. Let them sit for 10 minutes to blanch.

2. 2.Drain Vegetables

   After 10 minutes, drain the blanched vegetables thoroughly using a colander.

3. 3.Mash Vegetables

   Transfer the drained vegetables to a blender. Add fresh coriander leaves. Pulse or mash the mixture until the vegetables are finely chopped but still retain some texture.

4. 4.Combine Ingredients

   Transfer the mashed vegetable mixture to a mixing bowl. Add grated boiled potatoes, spices (e.g., garam masala, chaat masala, salt, chili powder to taste), and lentil flour.

5. 5.Mix and Shape Cutlets

   Mix all the ingredients thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until a cohesive mixture forms. Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into round, flat cutlets (shami kebabs).

6. 6.Prepare for Air Frying

   Place the shaped cutlets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush each cutlet with oil. For best results, freeze the cutlets for 15-30 minutes to help them firm up.

7. 7.Preheat Air Fryer

   Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (355°F).

8. 8.Air Fry Cutlets

   Place the cutlets in the preheated air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for a total of 20-22 minutes. After approximately 10-11 minutes, open the air fryer.

9. 9.Brush Oil and Flip

   Lightly brush the partially cooked cutlets with oil and carefully flip them over. Continue air frying for the remaining 10-11 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides.
