Cutlets are always ideal for an evening snack as they satiate the palate of all food lovers and go really well with a cup of Masala Tea or Filter Coffee. They can also be baked, pan fry , deep-fried or shallow fried to suit one’s taste and preferences. This lip-smacking dish tops the charts of all Indian restaurants and street vendors and is the most popular snack or appetizer that is served with evening tea. To make it more healthy I have got Soya chunks and makki ka atta added into these.
Soya chunks known for high protein content- it exceeds more than eggs, meat, milk. It’s also a good source of vitamin b, vitamin-K, riboflavin, and folate
Makki ka atta ,the B-complex vitamins in maize are good for skin, hair, heart, brain, and proper digestion. It contains vitamin A, C, K .
They’re easy and also versatile– you could add to these squash, green peppers…use your imagination.These are also great to sandwich in a burger bun. I have cooked these on a cast iron tawa that you see in video so that I can grab some iron into my food and can complete my dish with less oil .
