It is similar to vegetable cutlet but they add beetroot which gives sweet taste and peanuts which makes it crunchy. Perfect for evening snacks or starters for parties/occasions.
Similar to cutlet, vegetables are boiled, mashed and spices are added. Then they are coated with bread crumbs and deep or shallow fried. You can add any vegetables along with beetroot.
