Moong Potato Cutlet is a deep-fried cutlet made with whole moong and potato in a spice mix. These make an excellent party dish and for evening snacks as well.
Basically, these cutlet freezes well and so you can make these ahead and freeze and use them when you need them. These cutlets make a delicious party starter. What’s a party without some fried dishes for the kids!
These cutlets were a hit with the kids and I even sent some for the breakfast the next day. The cutlet turns out very filling and so you can make smaller ones if you are including these in a party menu.
Moong Potato Cutlet
Soak the moong overnight and drain the water to grind into a thick paste.
Boil the potatoes and mash well.
Finally take both ground moong and potatoes, add all the spices and finely chopped green chilies.
Make it into a thick dough. Divide into equal balls and flatten into 3-inch circle discs.
Roll it on bread crumbs and keep it aside for 10 mins.
Heat a Kadai with oil and deep fry the cutlets in batches.
Drain on a kitchen towel and serve with ketchup.

Most of the moong cutlets I came across use cooked moong dal. I like this uncooked method, more like moong vada with a twist. Bookmarked!
