Recipe
notes:
- Always steam or boil the vegetables as dente and not mushy. This prevents the cutlets from turning too soft from the inside
- Veg cutlets are filled with lots of veggies. this time I used potatoes, peas carrots, capsicums, spring onion, green chilies, and herbs.while you can add cauliflower, cabbage, mushrooms, beans
- In variation can be added cottage/chatted cheese, and chopped boiled eggs as well. if using cheese double-coat the cutlets so that cheese doesn’t come out of the cutlets and mess up
- Keep Spice a level less or more in veg cutlets as per taste
- I used HOMEMADE BREADCRUMBS to coat the cutlets. you can use store-bought crumbs or fresh bread crumbs Alternately crushed cornflakes also can be used instead of bread crumbs
- Don’t require coating these cutlets in egg or flour batter. breadcrumbs are enough to coat well. but if you want more crispness in veg cutlets then can use egg or flour batter before coating them with crumbs
