Get Cooking!
1. Nuke the onions, beans, tomatoes, peas in the microwave separately.
2. Mix in all the ingredients except oil & bread crumbs to make a thick mix. Add as little or no water as possible.
3. Make into patties.
4. Roll the patties to cover them completely with bread crumbs.
4. Shallow fry/ grill (some even deep fry) the patties.

Tips
I had no bread nor bread crumbs. So, I rolled the patties in dry roasted rava and used a kuzhipaniyaram kadai to get the cutlets done. They came out nice and crisp on the outside and soft in the inside :) You could add grated cheese to make the patty too. The ingredients one adds to make the patty is left to imagination and availability. Potatoes, chenna add bulk. The flours help bind everything. I remember having cutlets that had raisins in them too.
