VEGETABLE CUTLET

VEGETABLE CUTLET RECIPE - A favorite healthy recipe of all especially kids.Good way to include all possible vegetables in just one snack.Vegetable Cutlet can be a good starter,a good snack.

Veg Cutlet


The recipe is my version of vegetable cutlet.After trying two to three times this recipe has come out well.As per my understanding,taste of the hotel style cutlet is from the quantity of bread crumbs used.I had little bread crumbs.I tried to coat all the cutlets with the available crumbs.Still it was not sufficient for the last one.So I just crumbled cornflakes and used it to coat the last cutlet.The taste was good too. From the show of Venkatesh Bhatt, I used sooji/rava also along with bread crumbs.That is the white crumbs that you see in the cutlet.

Here is the recipe.
