In a pan heat up a tablespoon oil. Add chopped onion, grated ginger and chopped green chilli.
cook them for 3-4 minutes on medium heat.
Add in spices now, coriander powder, salt to taste, black pepper powder, red chilli powder, garam masala powder.
Add a couple of tablespoons of water to prevent burning of the spices. Add in boiled peas, chopped and boiled carrots, chopped paneer or tofu and saute for 2 minutes.
Add in boiled and mashed potatoes and mix with the vegetables. Switch off the heat and add chopped coriander. Mix and allow the mixture to cool down.
Meanwhile, Prepare a thin paste by mixing maida/all purpose flour or gram flour, salt and water.
Prepare and shape small cutlets of the vegetable cutlet mix. You can shape them round, oblong, Cigar shaped or flattened disks.
First, dip them in the Thin watery paste and roll them over the bread crumbs. Press the cutlets lightly so that the bread crumbs stick to them.
Now at this stage you can either freeze them (I have shared in recipe notes above) or fry them and enjoy immediately.

Now heat oil for frying in a deep dish pan in medium high flame till smoky.
When oil is hot enough deep-fry the cutlets on medium-low flame, till they turn golden brown and crispy.
Drain them on a paper towel to remove excess oil and serve them hot and crispy with chutney or sauce.

Pre-heat the air fryer at 200 degrees for 5 minutes.
Spray the cutlets with oil on the both sides
Lay the cutlets in a single layer. Air Fry them in the air fryer for 7 minutes each side at 200 degrees or until golden and crisp.

Chop vegetables in small size. You can chop them with knife or use a food processor. Make sure not to pulse them too fine.
After boiling drain carrots and peas nicely and while frying make sure to dry up any water if there.
You can pre-boil vegetables and potatoes and keep them in fridge.
If you are deep frying or pan frying make sure oil is nicely heated to good smoking point for perfect frying. You can read these 5 tips to Deep fry for perfect texture and less oil absorption.
You can also Air-fry these cutlets. I would not recommend baking in oven though.
You can make cutlets in microwave if your microwave has slim-fry function which is a kind of Air fry only.
