The chopped onions and coriander add that extra crunch. Beetroot Cutlets can be served as a starter, or in between meals snack or you can make an extra large one and sandwhich it as part of the school lunch.

Since I didnt have bread crumbs I used rice flour to coat the cutlets and I liked the crispiness it gave.

1onion chopped fine

1tsp ginger-garlic paste

2 medium potatoes

1/2 tsp garam masala

Rice flour or bread crumbs to roll
