Recipe Notes

  1. A kid friendly recipe, eliminate the green chilies if not needed.
  2. Can use other veggies in it as well besides carrot, use 4 tbsp of finely chopped French beans and 4 tbsp mashed green peas.
  3. Can use egg instead of all-purpose flour mixture when frying the cutlets. I prefer to use flour mixture as it gives the cutlets a thick and crispy coating.
