Beetroots combine with oats is a healthy morning breakfast or evening snack that we prepare once we have harvested our first batch of beetroots from our garden. They not only have a popping color that attracts my kids to munch on them but also has that natural sweet taste that goes well with all the spice powders we use.
Cutlets are usually prepared deep fried or shallow fried with a combination of many veggies. Here we have used grated beets, boiled potatoes, and peas. Below is a detailed recipe of shallow fried cutlet:
