Poha cutlet recipe with stuffed peas, Poha cutlet without potato. Gluten-free cutlet recipe stuffed with peas, recipe with full video, and step-by-step pictures.
I wanted to try the popular Aloo matar Tikki recipe, where we boil them and make them like dough. Then we stuffed the matar masala inside and make it as tikkis. I have seen a recipe using sooji also instead of aloo. Since I wanted to make it gluten-free, I decided to use poha | aval.
I have posted Poha vadai, poha pakoda recipe in Jeyashris kitchen. Usually, for cutlets, we add potatoes so that they will bind well. Here we are adding little rice flour for binding it. We can deep fry this as we do it for the usual cutlet.
I chose the pan fry method as I want to make it healthier. Also, I served this as patties for burgers for my son, and he thoroughly enjoyed it. You can serve this with simple tomato ketchup or green chutney along with Masala chai.

Notes
1. Ensure water is fully drained from the poha, else it is difficult to shape the cutlets.
2. Also it will absorb lot of rice flour and in turn the poha cutlet hard.
3. Poha peas cutlet can be served as a patty for burger too.
