These crispy beetroot cutlets are scrumptious, healthy, easy
to make and needs very simple ingredients. Beetroot cutlets can be served at
your evening tea as an evening snack with the goodness of beetroot. It tastes
really delicious when served with spicy green chutney and tangy tomato ketchup.
Beetroot adds a beautiful colour along with its rich nutrients. The mild sweetness
of beetroot is balanced by potato and the sharp taste of ginger. Also, you can
add onions which give a nice crunch to the cutlets. The cutlets also go well
sandwiched in a burger or bread with some lettuce and tomato ketchup. Deep
frying is something which many of us won’t prefer on a daily basis. The best
part of these cutlets is shallow fried with little oil. The outer layer turns
super crisp and the cutlets don’t absorb the extra oil. This will also avoid
making the cutlets soggy. So if you like
