Oats Vegetable Cutlet is a nutritious twist to the traditional Indian cutlet. Instead of bread crumbs and deep frying, we use rolled oats and shallow or air frying making it a high-fiber, low-calorie, and protein-rich snack. It’s great for breakfast, evening snacks, or even as a light dinner option.

Ingredients

½ cup rolled oats (lightly roasted)
1 medium boiled potato, mashed
2 tbsp bread crumbs or roasted gram flour (besan) for binding (optional)
¼ cup grated carrot ¼ cup chopped capsicum (bell pepper)
¼ cup chopped French beans or green peas
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves, chopped
1 green chili or ½ tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)
½ tsp ginger-garlic paste
¼ tsp red chili powder
¼ tsp black pepper powder
½ tsp cumin powder (jeera powder)
¼ tsp garam masala
Salt – to taste
1 tsp lemon juice
1–2 tsp olive oil (for brushing or shallow frying)
½ tsp chaat masala
2 tbsp boiled sweet corn
1 tbsp oats flour (if the mixture feels too soft)

How to Make Oats Veg Cutlet

Roast the Oats: Dry roast the oats in a pan for 2–3 minutes until slightly golden. This removes the raw flavor and helps with binding later.
Sauté the Vegetables: In a non-stick pan, heat a few drops of olive oil. Add onion, capsicum, carrot, and beans or peas. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until slightly soft but not mushy.
Prepare the Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables, boiled potato, roasted oats, ginger-garlic paste, salt, pepper, chili powder, lemon juice, and coriander leaves. Mix everything well to form a soft dough-like mixture.
Shape the Cutlets: Divide the mixture into small portions and shape them into round or oval cutlets.
Cook the Cutlets: For Air Fryer, Brush the cutlets with a little olive oil and air fry at 180°C for 10–12 minutes. Flip halfway through. For Tawa/Pan, Brush a non-stick tawa with oil and cook the cutlets on medium flame until both sides turn golden brown and crisp.
