Here is how to do corn and potato cutlets.
Boil the potatoes till fork tender. Mash the potatoes and mix it with boiled corn kernels. Set aside.
Heat oil in a pan and add in the chopped onions. Fry till the onions are soft. Add in the crushed garlic and saute for a minute. Next, add in the chopped curry leaves, finely chopped green chilies and salt. Make sure to chop the green chilies finely else the children will have their mouth on fire. Set aside.
Add in this mixture to the potato corn mixture along with finely chopped coriander leaves. Mix well. Check for seasoning. Mix well to combine. Make small patties and keep it in a plate.
Now lets make an assembly line.

after coating the bread crumbs.
Hi If I skip corn what modifications should I make in the recipe?
The main ingredient in the recipe is corn. You cannot skip that.
Hi. The recipe looks so tempting. But as of now I am running out of potatoes at home. Can I use sweet potatoes instead of the normal potatoes.
Hi Ranka, Sure. It will work.
Hi,
can u give a replacement for egg my husband doesn’t eat egg
You can make a maida slurry with maida and little water and use it.
Hello Suguna
Ive tried this recipe but the potatoes seemed to be too soft so they flattened whilst frying. What did I do wrong? It was actually a challenge to fry and turn them over.
The potatoes were cooked very mushy may be.
Hi Suguna,
What do you suggest I use as an egg replacement here? The smell of yolk is very nauseating to me, much less an uncooked one. Seems like a very useful recipe especially with kids as you mentioned here.
Thanks,
Aishwarya
Hi Aishwarya, You can make a paste with Maida and water. Add a pinch of salt. Let the batter be thick so it coats the patties. Then coat with bread crumbs and fry it. It will come out good.
