Ingredients
- Cooked Kidney Beans/ Rajma - 1 cup + 3/4 cup
- Onion - 1 big - finely chopped
- Whole Wheat - 3 tbsp
- Maida - 3 tbsp
- Pav bhaji Masala/ Chilli powder - 1 teaspoon + 1/4 tsp Adjust according to your spice level
- Garam Masala - 1/2 tsp
- Coriander Powder - 1/2 tsp
- Cumin Powder - 1/4 tsp
- Breadcrumbs - little for binding
- Ginger - Garlic paste - 1 tsp
- Asofetida - generous pinch
- Salt - as needed
- Oil - 1 teaspoon + to Grease
Instructions
- Wash and Soak Rajma in hot water for 4-5 hours. Drain and pressure cook it for 2 whistles with little salt and water
- After the pressure is released strain it without extra water. Add kidney beans ( I had 2 cups of cooked bean used 1 cup + 3/4 cup for cutlet and remaining bean for gravy) in a wide vessel mash it with a potato masher/ pulse once into a coarse mixture (avoid over-grinding)
- Add oil to the pan, once the oil becomes hot add onion, ginger garlic paste, and sauté till the onions become translucent
- Add Turmeric Powder, Cumin Powder, coriander powder, pav bhaji Powder, and salt (for Masala); cook for 2-3 minutes on low flame. Switch off transfer to the vessel containing rajma. Add maida and Wheat flour and mix well
- Add little breadCrumbs for binding
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Take the baking tray and line a parchment oil and grease it with oil
- Take small portions of the mixture, and flatten them using your palm (I made it thinner)
Baked Cutlet:
- Place them in the greased tray and brush the top portion of each cutlet with little oil to avoid drying out and of course for the crispy finish
- Bake the vadai for 8 - 12 min, till they have browned the underside (adjust time according to your oven). Carefully flip them and bake again for another 8 - 12 minutes. Remove and serve immediately. Serve with chutney/ ketchup and enjoy them as such or in Bread/ bun (burger)/Roti/tortilla
Shallow Fry Cutlet:
- add little oil to the pan and after the oil becomes hot add a cutlet and cook till it's golden brown on both sides, flipping in between. serve hot with ketch/pudina chutney

Notes
- Tin/can kidney beans (14 oz) can also be used instead of dried once
- Black bean, limo beans, pinto beans, chickpea, or other beans can be used
- Flour measurement may vary depending upon the water content in kidney beans. Try to strain it well for less flour
- I used a combination of wheat and maida. Instead, maida can be replaced with wheat flour Or vice versa but the texture is best with maida
- Onion and ginger - garlic paste can be avoided
- Shredded Carrot, zucchini, cabbage can be sautéd with onion
- For cutlets texture- shallow fry
- For vadai- bake
