i have shared quite a few cutlet recipes till now, which are generally based out of either one key vegetables or perhaps grains or bread. but this is one such recipe where i can use a choice of vegetables like beans, carrot, peas, potatoes, beetroot and sweet corn. thus making it a healthy, nutritional snack recipe. moreover, veg cutlet recipe is an ideal recipe for those stubborn kids who hesitate or do not prefer to have vegetables in their meal. the colour and texture of this veg cutlet make it appealing and irresistible for kids. i generally prepare vegetable cutlet with either semolina / rava or breadcrumbs which gives you a whitish or brown cutlet recipe. but in this recipe, i have used crushed corn flakes which gives it bright golden brown colour.
the veg cutlet recipe is fairly easy and can be prepared within minutes, yet i would like to share some tips and suggestions while preparing. firstly, as i mentioned previously the recipe is open-ended in terms of adding veggies. hence you can experiment and extend with other veggies like broccoli, snow pea and leafy vegetables on top of the vegetables used in this recipe. secondly, the shaping of cutlet can be done as per your preference. i have shaped it to semi-cylindrical, but you can also use shaper or a simple patties shape. lastly, deep fry these vegetable cutlets in a low to medium hot oil in small batches. alternatively, you can also shallow fry or pan fry it, but deep frying is a much better option.
finally, i would like to highlight my other snacks recipes collection with this post of veg cutlet recipe. it includes recipes like corn cutlet, bread cutlet, hara bhara kabab, aloo patties, aloo cutlet, sooji rava cutlet, poha cutlet, paneer cutlet and sabudana tikki recipe. in addition, do visit my other related recipes collection like,
