Swadisht Vegetable Cutlet
by Tarla Dalal
Cutlets with a teaspoon of oil? Well, here you go. You will fall head-over-heels in love with the amazing flavour and perfect texture of this Swadisht Vegetable Cutlet.
Made with an assortment of veggies like carrots and bottle gourd, this nutrient rich snack is quite satiating. In this innovative recipe, ragi flour is used to bind the veggies and flavour enhancers rather than starchy potato, raw bananas or cornflour.
So, you not only get vitamin A from carrot, you also get calcium from ragi. Relish this guilt-free snack with peppy Mint and Coriander Chutney.
