Rajma Cutlets
These rajma cutlets are crispy, flavorful, and packed with plant-based protein. If you love cutlets, but don’t want to deal with frying, this air fryer recipe is the perfect recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 cups boiled rajma kidney beans or use canned
- 1 medium potato boiled
- 2 tbsp. besan or chickpea flour
- 1 tsp. ginger-garlic paste or minced
- ½ teaspoon red chili powder
- ½ teaspoon garam masala
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cilantro chopped
- ½ onion finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon oil
Directions
- Once you assemble the ingredients together, the recipe is really easy. If doing from dry rajma or kidney beans, you need to soak them overnight. Then drain and boil in instant pot or manual pressure cooker till done. We want rajma beans that are cooked through. Drain and keep aside.
- Boil a potato and mash it. I normally add rajma beans, one green chilli (optional), cilantro, ginger and garlic, chopped onion in a blender. Blend without water to form a thick mash. We don’t want this mixture to be wet.
- Now add mashed potato and chickpea flour with the dry spices. Mix everything well to form the rajma cutlet mash. If it feels very wet, you can add more chickpea flour.
- Using your hands form flat round patties. I could make about 10 patties with this mixture.
