There’s something so comforting about a crispy, golden cutlet served hot with a side of chutney. It instantly reminds us of cozy tea-time conversations, rainy day cravings, or even festive snack platters. These Spinach and Green Peas Cutlets are not just delicious—they’re also a healthier take on traditional fried snacks.
This recipe brings together the goodness of spinach, the freshness of green peas, the softness of paneer, and the comforting texture of mashed potatoes and soaked poha. Every bite is flavorful, satisfying, and packed with nutrition. The spices are simple and familiar—nothing too fancy, but just enough to elevate the taste. Whether you’re planning a weekend treat, looking for a lunchbox filler, or hosting a small get-together, these cutlets will be a crowd-pleaser.
I personally love making these when I have leftover veggies or a small batch of paneer that needs to be used creatively. And guess what? You can prepare these ahead of time and store them in the freezer—making snack time easier and fuss-free!
This recipe is a hit with both kids and adults. It’s crisp on the outside, soft and flavorful inside, and can easily be made gluten-free if you wish. You can deep-fry them, shallow fry them, or even air fry for a lighter version.
