Add the cumin powder, red chili powder, garam masala powder, chat masala, mango powder, chopped coriander and salt; and mix them well. If it seems there remains little water in the mixture then add little bread crumb to make it dry.
5. Now beat the egg with 2 ts water.

6. Take small amount of vegetable mixture, press and make your desired shape cutlet. Then deep the cutlet in the egg wash and immediately coat it with  bread crumb. Make the rest of the cutlet (keep the cutlet in one layer otherwise they will stick with one another).
7. Heat oil in a deep pan. When oil is heated enough carefully put cutlet on the oil and fry the both side until a nice golden brown color comes out.
8. Take out the cutlet on a paper towel to soak the excess water.

After coating the cutlet with bread crumb, keep them in freezer for around half and hour and then fry them. This will help to set the bread crumb with the cutlet.
