Instructions
- Peel and grate the potatoes. Crush the roasted peanut in mortar pestle or grind into a coarse powder.

I used chaat masala but you can skip if it not allowed for fasting. If you are not using chaat masala add 1 teaspoon Lemon juice or add little more amchur powder. Mix everything well.
- Grease your palm with little oil and make patties with this dough. I have made round patties but you can make finger like long cutlets or heart shape or give any shape of your choice. You can also stuff these cutlets if you want. See notes for stuffing options.
- Spread some Tapioca flour or sabudana atta on a plate. Roll all the patties on it.
- Make a slurry with 2 tablespoon Tapioca flour or sabudana atta and 1/4 cup water. Dip the patties in the slurry and coat with dry Tapioca flour. Watch video recipe for details. Arrange all the patties on a plate.
- Heat sufficient oil in a pan. Fry the cutlets from both sides till golden brown. Fry 3-4 cutlets at a time depending on the size of your pan. Don’t overcroud.
- Transfer the fried cutlets on paper towel. Serve hot with any chutney. Enjoy the crispy crunchy delicious cutlets on fasting or feasting.

Notes
1. If you are not making for fasting then you can use breadcrumb instead of Tapioca flour or sabudana atta.
2. If you don’t have Tapioca flour, simply grind sabudana or Tapioca to make Tapioca flour.
3. You can make stuffed cutlets if you want. You can make paneer stuffing with grated paneer, chopped dry fruits, finely chopped green chilli and spices.
4. For green peas stuffing grind green peas with ginger and green chilli. Heat oil in a pan. Add little cumin seeds and let it splutter. Add ground green peas, salt and spices. Saute till dried up completely. Stuff with this mixture when cool.
