Alfalfa Microgreen Oats Cutlet

Ingredients:

• 2 medium potatoes – boiled & mashed
• ¼ cup green peas – boiled
• ¼ cup chana dal – boiled and lightly mashed
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 medium onion – finely chopped
• ¼ cup capsicum – finely chopped
• 1 medium carrot – grated
• 30g Alfalfa Microgreens – chopped
• 1 inch ginger – grated
• 3 green chillies – finely chopped

Masalas:

• ½ tsp coriander powder
• 1 tsp red chilli powder
• 1 tsp garam masala
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp amchur (dry mango) powder
• 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
• Oil – for shallow frying

Method:

1. Prep the Base:
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, boiled peas, and chana dal.
2. Add the Veggies & Oats:
   Mix in the rolled oats, chopped onion, capsicum, grated carrot, ginger, green chillies, and Alfalfa microgreens.
3. Spice it Up:
   Add all the masalas – coriander powder, red chilli powder, cumin powder, garam masala, amchur powder, and salt. Mix well to form a soft, binding mixture. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes so oats absorb moisture.
4. Shape the Cutlets:
   Take a portion of the mixture and shape it into round or oval cutlets. Grease your hands lightly with oil for smooth shaping.
5. Cook to Golden:
   Heat a pan and add a little oil for shallow frying. Place the cutlets on the pan and cook on medium heat until both sides turn golden brown and crisp.
6. Serve Hot:
   Enjoy with green chutney, yogurt dip, or even as a patty in whole wheat burgers!
