Peel off the skin of the potatoes and boil them with little water and pinch of salt and turmeric. Or you can boil the potatoes and peel it off later. If you are using a pressure cooker, give 4-5 whistles

Allow the boiled potatoes to cool down and mash them well breaking up all the huge lumps. Small lumps are fine

In a pan,heat oil.Add cumin seeds. When they pop,add finely chopped onion and chopped leaves.Saute for a few seconds

Add chopped green chillies,ginger garlic paste and few pinches of salt and stir

Add all the powders and once the rawness is gone,add the mashed potatoes to this.Add salt to taste.Mix well so that the potatoes and masalas are blended

Turn off the heat and let this mixture cool

In the mean time, beat an egg into a small flat bowl. Add few pinches of salt and pepper. If you don't want to use egg, mix flour, water, some salt and make a very thick batter. The beaten egg or the flour batter is for coating the bread crumbs on the potatoes

In another flat plate or bowl,add bread crumbs.Do not fill the plate with all of it. If you don't have bread crumbs available from the shop,you can make it at home using fresh or leftover breads. Break 4-6 bread slices into small pieces and blend them in a mixer till they turn into nice fine powder.Make sure the jar you use is clean and dry

Rub some oil/ghee on your palm and make medium sized balls from the potato mix

Flatten each of these balls to make it look like a round burger or patty.You may even give some shape of your choice with the help of the culinary moulds that you get in stores.Do not flatten it to very delicate level

Dip one cutlet at a time into the egg/flour bowl. Both the sides of the cutlet must be coated.Note that, this is just an ingredient to make the bread crumbs stick on to the cutlet, so don't coat too much of it,the cutlet tend to break while deep frying

Now,coat this entirely with the bread crumbs. Keep adding bread crumbs onto the bowl whenever you run out off. Similarly, if the egg or flour batter getting over,beat one more egg or make additional batter

Heat oil in a deep frying pan, and slowly put these coated potatoes.Fry them till the crumb turn into golden brown. You may even shallow fry it

Drain excess oil with kitchen towel/tissue
