Oats and peas Pattie/Cutlet



This is ideal if you don't like the  feeling of heaviness in your belly after eating just one or two patties. On the contrary you can stuff about 3 or 4 of these oats patties and still get away without guilt. I had seen this somewhere, maybe on TV or on youtube, I don't remember, but I made it today. So here goes. I'm writing this recipe just as I made it. One can make it more spicy or stick with the basic patties routine.

Ingredients:

A handful of peas, soaked and cooked.
Oats- about a cup or so.
Garam masala - 1 tsp
Corriander leaves- a small  bunch
Lemon juice -1 tsp
Half an onion chopped to small pieces.
Ginger garlic paste- half tsp.
Rava two tsps
Wheat flour- two tsps
Salt to taste.
Half a cup of bread crumbs or rice flour
Method:

Make a course paste out of the cooked peas. Add all  other ingredients except bread crumbs or rice flour and mix with very little plain water or the water in which you cooked the peas. Add water little by little because the oats take a few minutes to become soft. You may require just about 2 table spoons of water. The mixture will turn into dough consistency. Knead it lightly and make small patties. Roll the patties in rice flour or bread crumbs whichever suits you best. Heat oil in a pan and shallow fry the patties till they turn golden brown. Serve with ketchup or chutney or any sauce or dip of your liking. Eat guilt free.
