How to Make Sweet potato methi cutlet

• In a pressure cooker, add salt and water to cover 1/3 the height of sweet potatoes and cook up to 3 whistles. 2 whistles should be good if you don't want it to be very tender.
• Once the pressure is released, open the lid, drain the water and allow it to cool.
• Then peel the skin off.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Take a large baking tray and drizzle some oil or cooking spray. Spread it all over.
• In a large bowl, add sweet potatoes and mash with your hands or a potato masher.
• Add finely chopped onions/shallots, methi leaves, green chillies and salt and mix.
• Add rest of the ingredients except bread crumbs and oil. Mix it well.
• Divide it into equal parts and make small lemon-sized balls.
• Take 1 ball at a time in your hand and spread it into a circle with your thumb.
• If you find this difficult, take a small plastic bag, place the ball on it and slowly spread it into a small circle (3-3.5 cm) without breaking it.
• Then, coat both the sides with bread crumbs and also along the circumference of the cutlet and place it on the tray.
• Again spread it a little and even the sides with your finger or a knife.
• Don't make it too thin or too thick - around 1 cm thickness should be good.
• Sprinkle 1 or 2 tbsp of the remaining bread crumbs over it and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
• Remove the tray, slowly flip the cutlets and bake for another 5 minutes.
• Then boil it for 2 minutes and turn off the oven.
• Let it stay for a while.
• Serve with ketchup or with a dip of your choice.
