Instructions
- Step 1 — Prepare mixture (≈10 mins): Mash boiled potatoes well. Add grated carrot, peas, moringa powder, salt, and red chili powder. Mix thoroughly and add some bread crumbs to bind the mixture.

- Add finely chopped spinach, beetroot, or corn for variation.
- Refrigerate the shaped cutlets for 10 minutes before frying to help them hold shape.
