• 1/2 cup grated carrots

• 1/2 cup finely chopped onions

• 1/4 cup green peas, boiled

• 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder

• 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder

• 1/2 teaspoon garam masala

• Salt to taste

• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (for binding)

• Oil for shallow frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oats:

   • Dry roast the oats in a pan over medium heat for a few minutes until they become slightly golden and aromatic. Let them cool, then grind them into a coarse powder.

2. Mix the Ingredients:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, grated carrots, chopped onions, boiled green peas, and roasted oats powder.

   • Add the green chilies, chopped coriander leaves, and ginger-garlic paste. Mix well.

   • Add cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined.

   • Add breadcrumbs to the mixture to help bind it together. Mix thoroughly.

3. Shape the Cutlets:

   • Take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into round or oval cutlets. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

4. Cook the Cutlets:

   • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat for shallow frying.

   • Place the cutlets in the pan and cook until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.

   • Remove the cutlets from the pan and place them on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

5. Serve:

   • Serve the oats cutlets hot with mint chutney, tomato ketchup, or any dip of your choice.

Tips for Perfect Oats Cutlets:

• Binding: Ensure the mixture is well-bound. If it feels too loose, add a bit more breadcrumbs.
