FLAVOURS

When I opened my Fridge this morning to take a look at both raw and cooked vegetables to decide what to serve for lunch, one of the things I saw was a bowl of cooked cabbage leftover from last nights dinner. Instantly, I decided to use the cabbage , but make something different out of it. Here's what I did.

I mashed one large boiled and peeled potato in a large thali/plate. I put the cabbage in the mixer and gave it one spin. The mashed cabbage was then added to the mashed potato.. To that I added the following: 1 small onion finely chopped, 1 green chillie finely chopped, 1 tsp finely chopped ginger, 1 tsp rawa or sooji, 1 bread slice soaked in water and squeezed out, 1/2 tsp dhania powder, 1/2 tsp jeera powder, 1/2 tsp shah jeera, 1/4 tsp red chillie powder, salt to taste and a few coriander leaves finely chopped. I mixed all the ingredients well into a nice dough. Made small balls from it and flattened each into a round cutlet and lightly coated each with breadcrumbs. At lunch, these were fried in just 2 tbsps of oil on a non stick pan, till both sides were golden brown and served with green chutney and ketchup. 
The patta-gobi aloo tikkis/cutlets turned out to be quite a hit and will probably feature often on my weekly menu!
