Veg Cutlets/Kebab
Veg Cutlets: Veg Kebab: Veg Patties: A tasty and easy vegetarian starter recipe prepared with a mixture of finely chopped vegetables.
Veg cutlets are the best tea time snack and taste good when served hot with either tomato ketchup or green chutney.
Depending upon the taste of diet you can either deep fry or bake these veg cutlets but I prefer to do shallow fry and believe me there is no change in taste. Similarly, if you want to avoid the use of potatoes, replace it with sweet potato or raw bananas.
There are much variety of cutlets you can make like Paneer Cutlets, Veg Cutlets, Corn Cutlets, etc by which you can make your kids evening full of health and happiness.
Furthermore, select any vegetable of your choice, the only condition is you have to finely chop the vegetables. Here I am using capsicum and french beans only. You can opt for beetroot, broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, and even leafy vegetables.
This dish attracts your children and they happily clean the plate within a few minutes because of its unique and crispy taste of vegetables. Here, I saute vegetables rather than frying that’s why I mentioned above that vegetables should be finely chopped. I am also adding some paneer to make it more healthy.
For the binding, I am using roasted gram flour instead of bread crumbs or cornflour. You can also choose rice flour as an option for binding. Gram flour makes veg cutlets healthier as a comparison with bread crumbs and cornflour.
Interesting point is that you can use these cutlets as patties for a veg sandwich or for a burger. If you get bored from fritters then this will be a great replacement during monsoon as an evening snack.
Lastly,all about the shape is you can give any shape, totally based on personal preference, I gave cylindrical shape to my cutlets. The reason behind this is I am shallow frying them. If you give them a round shape then it will be recommended to deep fry them then only they get a beautiful texture.
