Ingredients:

Method of Preparation:

1.Dice the beans and carrots into very small cubes .

2.Boil all the veggies(do not dice the potatoes).Drain out the water and keep aside.

3.Dip 2 or 3 whole bread slices in water, take out immediately and squeeze out the water from the slices with your hands.Repeat the procedure for the entire pound of bread.

4. Mash the boiled potatoes.

5.Mix the beans,carrots and peas with mashed potatoes and some salt.

6. Add the above to the squeezed bread slices, add required amount of salt and chilly powder.

5.Mix the veggies,bread,salt and chilly powder well.keep this bread dough aside.

 6.Powder rusk in a mixer.Take a cup of rava, rice flour/wheat flour(I have used wheat flour), rusk powder.

7.Make small balls of the  bread dough and flatten each ball a little to form a square shape.Now, roll each flattened ball onto the wheat flour, then rusk powder and finally on rava.All these three powders stick to the flattened ball.

8.Heat a shallow frying pan or tava and shallow fry each square piece on both sides with 2 teaspoons of oil . 

9.Cutlets are now ready to be served.

Serving Tip: Serve hot with tomato sauce or coriander/pudina chutney.

Variation: 1.Deep fry instead of shallow fry (tastes better).
                 2. Add grated paneer(cottage cheese) along with the veggies.
