Whole grain bread Cutlet with classic Ketchup

This is a very filling and easy to eat lunch for kids and adults.   I make this often with quite a bit of variations to include healthy ingredients.  It goes very well with the simple and yet yummy homemade classic ketchup. 

I used whole grain kamut wheat bread which I made last week and turned out quite hard for some weird  unknown reason. I used it to make these yummy cutlets instead of wasting them.  You could use any bread for this recipe.

What you need?

Bread - 6 slices

Carrot - 2

Cauliflower-1 cup

Potatoes - 3

Green peas (frozen) - 1/2 cup

Capsicum - 1 cup

popped sesame seeds - 2 Tbsp

pepper powder - 1 tsp

amchur powder - 1 tsp 

Salt to taste

Coconut Oil – 3 Tbsp

How to make?

Boil potatoes or pressure cook till soft

Steam all the vegetables
 

-->

Make a coarse powder of the bread slices

Peel potatoes and crush them with your hand

Mash the vegetables gently with the backside of the spatula or a masher

Mix everything together, you wouldn’t need any water.  The mix should be of dough consistency and you should be able to form a ball without anything sticking to your hand.

Keep the bread crumbs in a small bowl for dipping

Pre heat the iron griddle till it is quite warm.   Spread the oil on the griddle with a brush, make balls of a small lemon size and flatten them in your hand, Just pat them all over on the bread crumb, It should stick over it.  If not,  spread little water over the cutlet and then put them over the bread crumbs.

Cook on both side till it turns brown.   Brush oil before turning them to get a good texture on both sides.  

It goes very well with coriander dip/chutney or the classic homemade ketchup
