Method

1. Pressure cook the potatoes and peel and mash them. Keep it aside.

3. Mean while in a medium sized pan pour some oil and heat it. Add mustard seeds let it splutter, now add chopped onions sauté till it turns brown and soft.

6. Turn off the flame and allow the mixture to cool down.
7. Once it is cooled add the mashed potatoes and mix well using your hands. (The mixture should hold shape when rolled into balls).
8. Roll out small portions of the mixture into lime sized ball and flatten it between the palms to give it a shape.
9. Dip each cutlet in beaten egg and roll them in breadcrumbs, making sure that all sides are nicely coated.
10. In another pan heat the oil and shallow fry the cutlets in medium flame till they are golden brown.
11. Serve hot with tomato Ketchup.

Note: If giving it to your kids below 5 years see that you separate curry leaves from the cutlet while feeding them. Or else you can even skip adding it while making the cutlets. They might not like the taste of curry leaves if chewed. 

You can even keep it ready well in advance and fry it whenever needed. It stays good for 2-3 days. Don’t forget to store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
