Method

  1. 1

    Boil the sweet corn until tender, then grind it into a fine paste and let it cool completely.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, cooled corn paste, grated carrot, and finely chopped onion.

  3. 3

    Add the finely chopped green chillies, ginger‑garlic paste, breadcrumbs, corn starch, red chilli powder, garam masala, cumin powder, chaat masala, chopped coriander leaves, and salt; mix thoroughly until a soft, shapeable mixture forms. If the mixture feels too sticky, add a little extra breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into a round or oval cutlet.

  5. 5

    Prepare a slurry by whisking together 3 tbsp corn starch with 5‑6 tbsp water until smooth and thin.

  6. 6

    Dip each cutlet into the slurry, then coat it evenly with panko breadcrumbs.

  7. 7

    Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the cutlets for about 3‑4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  8. 8

    Transfer the fried cutlets to a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain excess oil, then serve hot.
