Raw Banana and Veggie Rich Cutlets (Grain-Free)

Ingredients:

• 2 medium-sized raw bananas
• 1/2 cup finely chopped cauliflower
• 1/2 cup finely chopped snake gourd
• 1/2 cup finely chopped mushrooms
• 1/2 cup green peas
• 1/2 cup spinach
• 1 inch ginger
• 2 green chillies
• 1 tsp cumin and coriander powder
• Salt, to taste

Method:

1. Steam the raw bananas with the peel on for 10 minutes.
2. Remove the peel and mash them with a fork while piping hot.
3. Coarsely grind together green peas, spinach, ginger, and chillies.
4. In a thali or bowl, add finely chopped cauliflower, snake gourd, and mushrooms.
5. Mix in the ground masala, salt, and cumin-coriander powder. Combine well and shape into patties.
6. Coat the patties with banana flour.
7. Heat a tava, place the cutlets, and cook on medium-low heat. Cover with a lid to soften and cook the veggies.
8. Flip and let them cook on low heat for some time.
9. Your tasty veggie-rich cutlets are ready. Serve with chutney or clean tomato ketchup.

Tips:

1. Banana flour acts like breadcrumbs, absorbing excess water for a crispy crust.
2. For a bit of healthy fat, add soaked pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
3. Instead of scraping bananas, steam and remove the peel.
4. Store these cutlets in the freezer for later use. Enjoy a quick, wholesome meal whenever needed!
