Recipe
Place the cauliflower, potatoes, fresh peas, and green beans in a large
pot and cover with water. Put the carrots and celery in a steaming
basket, cover and place over the pot. Cook until the vegetables are
tender-crisp. Drain, saving the water. Add the frozen peas, defrosted
first, to the steamed vegetables.
In a blender, while it is running, drop in the chilies. Add the chickpeas,
nuts and seeds, and process until the peas are mashed. Some vegetable
water maybe needed. Add the cauliflower, potatoes, fresh peas, if
using, and beans. Pulse on and off until they are coarsely mashed. Transfer
to a mixing bowl, add the steamed vegetables, salt, pepper, turmeric and
garam masala. Mix well. Divide into 12 portions.
Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Flatten a portion into an almond
shaped cutlet, 1/2 inch thick, and place on the sheet. Cover and refrigerate
for 30 minutes.
Whisk the milk, cornstarch, and flour in a flat bowl until smooth. Dip
each cutlet into the batter, roll in poppy seeds and set aside briefly to
air dry.
Heat ghee to a depth of 3/4 inch. Without crowding, fry the cutlets in
batches for 2 minutes each side. Drain and serve.
