A very healthy snack which is packed with full of iron and vitamins. Healthy palak and flavored pudina  are mixed together with other veggies and made into round cutlets which are so appetizing......Not only they are tasty , they are filling too.

INGREDIENTS

Palak                       2 cups finely chopped
Pudina                     1/2 cup finely chopped
Beans                       6-7
Carrot                       1 large
Cabbage                    1/4 cup chopped
Green chilies            2 finely chopped
Chana dal                 1 cup
Salt                           to taste
Garam masala           1 tsp
Tomato sauce            1 Tsp
Chilly sauce              1 Tsp
Butter                        to shallow fry

PROCEDURE

PRE-PREPARATION

1. Soak the chana dal for 4-5 hours and boil for 10 minutes. Remove from water and lay on a kitchen towel. When all the water is removed grind in a mixer. This will be like a thick wet powder. As you have already soaked and cooked the dal you can shallow fry the cutlets without deep frying.  
2. Boil the beans, carrot and cabbage. When soft, remove from water and grind just like the dal.
3. Chopped Palak can be microwaved for a minute or two. You can also fry for a minute or two.

Mix in the palak, veggies, pudina, chana dal powder.
Add the remaining ingredients except the butter.
Make a thick dough like mixture. If the mixture is too runny add some rice flour.
Take small amount of mixture and make a small patty. Shallow fry with butter on both sides. You can also deep fry if you are not calorie conscious.
Serve hot with any sauce.

TIPS

Don't use bengalgram flour instead of chana dal.
Don't use palak puree as this makes the mixture too watery. Use chopped and microwaved palak.
Add some kaju pieces as this is a best combination with chana dal.
