You'll Need
- ½ cup Health Ninja Regular Oats
- 1 boiled potato, mashed
- 2 tbsp chopped vegetables such as carrot, capsicum, peas or onion
- Salt to taste
- Your favourite spices
- 1 tsp oil for shallow frying
Adding different vegetables is an easy way to make your oats cutlet recipe more colourful and nutritious.
Step 1: Prepare the Oats Mixture
Take a clean mixing bowl and add Health Ninja Regular Oats, mashed potato, chopped vegetables, salt and spices.
Mix everything well so the ingredients are evenly combined.
The oats add a nice texture to the mixture, while the potato helps hold everything together.
Pro Tip: If the mixture feels too dry, add a little water, one teaspoon at a time.
Step 2: Make the Cutlet Mixture
Mix everything with your hands until you get a soft and firm mixture.
The mixture should be easy to shape and should not feel too wet.
Let it rest for 3-5 minutes. This allows the oats to absorb some of the moisture and makes the cutlets easier to shape.
Step 3: Shape the Oats Cutlets
Take a small portion of the mixture and roll it gently between your palms.
Flatten it slightly to form a small round cutlet.
Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Try to keep the cutlets similar in size so they cook evenly.
Pro Tip: Lightly wet your hands if the mixture sticks while shaping.
Step 4: Shallow Fry Until Golden
Heat 1 tsp oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Place the cutlets carefully on the pan and cook until the bottom becomes golden and crispy.
Flip them gently and cook the other side until golden brown.
Since this is a shallow-fried oats snack, you only need a small amount of oil.
Pro Tip: Cook on medium heat for evenly crispy cutlets without burning them.
Step 5: Serve Hot
Once the cutlets are crispy and golden on both sides, transfer them to a plate.
Serve hot with green chutney, mint yogurt dip or tomato chutney.
Enjoy these healthy oats cutlets as a quick evening snack, light breakfast, or anytime you want a wholesome homemade bite.
