A balanced combination of brinjal with other veggies like potatoes, french beans and carrots is pepped up with mint leaves, onion paste and spice powders, and mixed into a dough for cutlets. Coating the dough with bread crumbs imparts an exciting crispness to the cutlets. What is more, this veggie-loaded brinjal cutlet is cooked on a non-stick tava with minimal oil, so you can choose this to accompany your cup of tea whenever you feel like it!

Can one omit potatoes in this recipe or substitute cauliflower? Also, can it be baked instead of frying? If yes, what would the oven settings be i. e temperature and time?

Tarla Dalal Hi, yes you can omit potatoes and replace it with cauliflower or even raw bananas.In case using cauliflower add 1 tbsp of cornflour for binding. You can bake it instead of frying.
