- Gradually add the bread crumbs to the vegetable mixture. If the mixture is too wet, add more bread crumbs until it holds its shape.
- Take a small amount of the mixture and shape it into small cutlets or patties.
- In a separate bowl, mix all-purpose flour with a little water to form a smooth batter.
- Dip each cutlet into the flour batter and then coat with bread crumbs for an extra crispy texture.

- Fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve hot with chutney or ketchup.
Notes
You can customize the vegetables according to your preference. Spinach, cauliflower, or bell peppers are great additions.
For a healthier version, you may choose to bake the cutlets instead of frying them. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for about 20 minutes until crisp.
