Broccoli Cutlet Recipe With Simple Ingredients
Broccoli often ends up being the most ignored vegetable on the plate, especially by children. However, when combined with simple spices and shaped into crispy cutlets, it becomes surprisingly delicious and appealing. This broccoli cutlet recipe is a practical way to turn everyday ingredients into a healthy broccoli snack that truly doesn’t taste “healthy.”
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Knife & chopping board
- Steamer or saucepan
- Potato masher
- Non-stick pan or skillet
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli florets (finely chopped or grated)
- 1 medium potato (boiled & mashed)
- 2 tbsp breadcrumbs (or oat flour for a healthier option)
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 1 green chili (optional, finely chopped)
- 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
- ½ tsp cumin powder
- ½ tsp black pepper powder
- Salt to taste
- 1 tbsp coriander leaves (chopped)
- 1–2 tbsp oil (for shallow frying)
Instructions
- First, steam the broccoli florets for 3–4 minutes until soft. Then, finely chop or grate them. Make sure there’s no excess moisture.
- Next, in a mixing bowl, add broccoli, mashed potato, onion, ginger-garlic paste, spices, salt, breadcrumbs, and coriander leaves. Mix well to form a soft dough.
- Now, divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into round or oval cutlets.
- Heat oil in a pan. Then, shallow fry the cutlets on medium heat until golden brown on both sides. Alternatively, bake or air-fry them for a healthier version.
- Finally, serve broccoli cutlets hot with mint chutney, ketchup, or yogurt dip.
