Why I am passionate about cooking, is not only because of my both moms (mom and mother-in-law) are very good cook, but I am giving half of the credit to my father, who also a great food lover and he is the best cooking teacher for me…
During my childhood, I used to cook with my father. And yeah, that’s also true that once I grown up, he almost left the cooking, I still don’t know why. But those days, when me and my father used to cook together, my mom’s entry was prohibited in kitchen. 🙂
I was his assistant in cooking. He often used to make some fried recipes like patties, fritters and puri most of time. His custard milk with fruit salad recipe is speechless. I am still trying to recreate it.
But this mashed potato cutlets is my trial from collection of his recipes. You know what was the best part of making this recipe. This time, I was cooking and my father was assisting me.. I cannot explain that experience when he gave me instructions and I sincerely followed it.
This is a masterpiece from him. The raisins give it sweetness and crunch and those pomegranate seeds make it little juicy and tangy taste.
The tempering of ginger – garlic – chilli gives it perfect balance of all spices, and turmeric gives it super golden colour.
Here, I give a some cylindrical shape like cigar. To make it more attractive. But the unique about these cutlet is outer layer of poppy seeds. When you fry them, the colour contrast will make it so attractive. And this is my favourite part of this recipe.
After frying it, that dark brown crispy layer and contrast of poppy seeds is just looks gorgeous. And inside it is still little smooth and yellow color… OMG!!! What else can I say!
Avoid Mistakes At First Attempt of Making Mashed Potato Cutlet
- Leftover mashed potatoes give more better result than freshly boiled.
- Adding cashew (not whole) chunks also gives a nice crunch. But do not substitute raisin. Raisins and pomegranate are heart of this recipe
- If you don’t have poppy seeds. You can avoid it.
