Ingredients

  • Khichdi - 2 cups refrigerated and solid
  • Sooji semolina - 1/2 cup or more (dry roasted), enough to bind the khichdi into dough
  • Ginger - 1 tsp grated
  • Green chili - 1 finely minced

Oil & Spices

  • Oil for shaloow frying
  • Garam Masala - 1 tsp
  • Red chili powder - 1/4 tsp or to taste
  • Amchur Dry Mango powder - 1/2 tsp
  • Cumin powder - 1 tsp dry roasted
  • Salt to taste. Be careful since khichdi is already salted.

Instructions

  • Take a big bowl and all the ingredients to it. Bind it into a dough. Use more sooji if required. It depends upon how much watery the khichdi is.
  • Divide the dough into 10-12 equal parts. Shape each part into tear drop shape. Set aside.
  • Heat enough oil in a heavy bottom pan, to cover the base of it.
  • Add 4-5 cutlets at a time and brown them on both the sides on medium heat.
  • Serve them hot with chutney and ketchup.

Notes

You can deep fry these or make them in air fryer.
