Baked Methi Corn Cutlets

Staying away from family has its own advantages, when I visit home I am pampered like anything, my mom makes may favorite dishes, I can watch disney channel without interruption(which my brother hates!) and sleep till mid day. On my last visit home, i went to see my aunt and by mistake i mentioned we dont get fresh methi leaves in swiss and immediately she packed a big box of dried methi leaves for me to take back. My aunt sun dries the fresh methi (fenugreek) leaves and stores them. Dried methi leaves stay good for months and you just need to soak them in water for 10 mins before using and they are ready to be used. I am sure everyone knows the health benefits of methi so i wont repeat the same and bore you guys. I always try to find new ways to incorporate methi in my diet. On of my favorite is methi theplas which is very much gujju's trademark. Another dish I am fond of is Aloo Methi which i'll be posting soon.
I made these cutlets in my effort to use up the sweet corn kennels which i had in my fridge. Initially i thought of making cheese sweet corn balls which i posted here but then the idea of all that unwanted calories made me feel guilty! Cutlets were second in my list and by adding methi they were super healthy and delicious and not to forget guilt free as they were baked!!
These Baked Methi Corn Cutlets are off to Madhuram's Low Fat Eggless Baking event and to CFK:Leafy Vegetables guest hosted by Pavani, mastermind of Sharmi. The first pic is off to Click:Stacks event by Jugalbandi.

Ingredients: 1 cup boiled mashed potatoes 1/2 cup fresh/dried fenugreek(methi) leaves finely chopped 2 tbsp fine bread crumbs 1/2 cup sweet corn roughly grinded 2 green chillies finely chopped 1 tsp fresh lime juice 1 tsp sugar 1 tsp chaat masala Salt to taste 2 tbsp finely chopped coriander Bread crumbs to roll the cutlets in

Procedure:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C.
  • Mix all the above ingredients together nicely. Make sure you dont make it extremely mushy.
  • Make small round balls and press them in middle to make flat round cutlets.
  • Roll these cutlets in bread crumbs.
  • Line the baking tray with foil paper.
  • Grease the foil paper using little oil.
  • Bake the cutlets for 15 mins on one side, flip and bake for another 15 mins until light brown on both the sides.
  • Serve hot with sauce or coriander chutney. You can also use these cutlets in between the burger buns.

Lovely pictures Parita. I'm so happy that this time I'm getting a lot of baked savory entries. The bitterness of the methi balanced by the sweetness of the corn, I bet it would have been tasty. Thank you so much for sending it to the event.

Padma said...

Awesome clicks Parita and baking the cutlets is a good idea... looks great :)

A well-balanced patties, not only nutrient-rich, but also tasty. I would love to have them with chilli mango chutney! You know some Remoulade sauce would be wonderful too!
