Oats Cutlet in Tortilla Wrap



This is a dish inspired by Mexican cuisine. Serves as a good snack/ lunchbox item for kids.
Thanks Raksha for the recipe!


Ingredients for cutlet:

1 onion finely chopped
5-6 peeled and chopped garlic cloves
1/2 inch ginger grated
2-3 medium sized potatoes boiled and mashed
Chopped Beans, carrot and peas 1 bowl
1 bowl chopped spinach,methi(fenugreek) leaves
1 cup cooked rajma
2 cups oats(I used Quaker oats)
1/2 bowl chopped coriander leaves
Oil
Salt

 Powders used:

1/2tsp turmeric
2tsp chilly powder
1/2 tsp garam masala powder

How to make:

Fry all the ingredients in oil, one after the other, except potatoes and chopped coriander leaves, until they are soft enough to eat. Now, add  the powders. Then, mix one cup oats out of two cups. Next, add mashed potatoes and coriander leaves. Switch off the gas and let it cool down to normal temperature.
Make bun sized patties out of the mixture.  Take the remaining oats on a plate. Dip the patties in the oat flakes and shallow fry both sides in a pan.

For the tortilla:

Ingredients:

Wheat flour, optimum water and salt to taste- for dough
Mayonnaise/Cheese spread
Grated Cheese

How to make:

Make a dough using wheat flour. Make lemon size balls and flatten them as you would for a chapathi. Now, roll it as in a veggie roll. Then,  make a spiral design using the rolling pin and flatten it. Fry both sides on the tava(this is the same method which we adopt for making lachcha paratha)

Now you could smear some mayo/ cheese spread/grated cheese on the tortilla. Keep the prepared cutlets. Microwave for aminute.
Wrap the tortilla around the cutlet. Serve hot with tomato ketchup.
