Instructions
If using vegetables, pat dry all the vegetables.
Put all the ingredients in food processor(except oil) and mix for about half a minutes. Mixture should be coarse not like paste and you should be able to see all the vegetables.
Remove from the food processer, rice mixture will be textured of chunky soft dough. Form mixture into tots..
Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium high heat. Drop the cutlets slowly into it, taking care not to overlap them.
Fry the cutlets until they are golden brown, turning occasionally. This should take about 5 to 6 minutes. Take them out over a paper towel.
If desired, you can bake at 350F for about 20 minutes or till golden crispy and done.
For best taste serve them hot. Tots taste great with Tomato Sauce, as we all know but try with Indian Chutneys...
