So, the veg. cutlets and dosa’s were very famous from this restaurant we used to go. The problem was everything will sell out very quickly and if we were late we would end up eating only dosa’s and medhu vada’s and our craving for our favorite cutlets will lose its way. But, Dad being super dad almost every time, managed to take us in the hours when we will manage to get these beautiful cutlets. Isn’t it amazing how we like certain food from certain places/ restaurants only? Our love for Cutlets from this very restaurant is more than 25 years old now…. and it amazes me now when I think about it.
What are Vegetable Beetroot Cutlets?
The Vegetable Beetroot Cutlets are traditionally known as the Veg. Cutlets. They are made by steaming or boiling Beetroots, Potatoes, Carrots and Green Peas with Garam Masala as the main spice along with some red chili powder, cumin powder and coriander powder along with ginger and green chili paste. These are traditionally deep fried or shallow fried. They are crispy from the outside and beautifully soft on the inside. This appetizer is enjoyed by families on a Sunday evening, or sometimes for breakfast and sometimes people make them exotically by adding coconut and roasted peanuts for guests.
Can we make Baked Vegetable Beetroot Cutlets ?
I personally almost try to avoid deep frying everything possible. These cutlets are one of them. As I mentioned earlier my friend asked me to blog the recipe of veg. cutlets and the condition was they should be baked, so yes, I made a baked version of these beauties. They absolutely bake to perfection, crisp from the outside and soft on the inside. These cutlets need a lot of patience while baking though, if you want them to brown nicely and have a crispy texture on the outside. It takes good 40 mins to bake them, but the outcome is so scrumptious and delectable , you just cannot resist.
