Bread Cutlets are scrumptious crunchy tava veg cutlets made with a mixture of softened bread, mashed potatoes and other veggies perked up with everyday taste-givers like garlic, ginger, green chillies and coriander.
The bread not only gives volume and keeps the ingredients together but also gives the shallow fry Indian veg cutlets a unique texture that is soft with a mild, crackling crispness when you bite into it.
You can enjoy the bread cutlets with mixed vegetables as an evening snack, or serve it as a starter at parties.
Tips for bread cutlets: 1.Ginger, garlic and green chilli paste is readily available in the market, but nothing can beat the flavour and aroma of fresh coarsely crushed paste. 2. See that you squeeze out all the excess water properly from the bread slices or else the cutlet mixture will become soggy and difficult to bind. 3. To make the cutlets more nutritious and colourful you can add other vegetables like boiled green peas, broccoli, red and yellow capsicum , French beans etc. to the mixture. Do not add water based vegetables like doodhi, cucumber, zucchini etc. as this will let out water and make the cutlet mixture soggy. 4. Rolling the cutlets in the breadcrumbs from all the sides give the cutlets a crispy texture on shallow-frying. 5. You can even use moulds of different shapes and sizes to make the cutlets.

can I use rava instead of bread crumbs
wanted to eat home made cutlet for long since on my annual leave decided to try the same the cutlet came out to be delicious....the aroma itself was too good... amongst 5 of us we had 25 cutlets of course adding chat masala had its own fun
Most of the cutlet recipes are all deep-fried but I was happy to see this recipe which was quick, easy and very similar to a deep-fried cutlet....Must try recipe...
