This weekend was our marriage ceremony anniversary. With Valentine's twenty-four hr stream approximately the corner, I decided to brand something special, romantic!
As usual, everything amongst me has to travel healthy, quick as well as slowly but delicious! This is 1 of my master copy recipes, which way that I came upward amongst this recipe as well as that it was non adapted from anyplace. I am happy to state that this was a successful experiment every bit everyone who ate it was all praises. You could duet it amongst cilantro chutney or yous could duet it amongst the skilful erstwhile Lycopersicon esculentum ketchup. I liked both.
This recipe could travel gluten costless if yous substitute sooji ( cream of wheat) amongst cornmeal. Instead of rolling the cutlet inwards rawa, I added the sooji rawa inwards the batter to larn inwards crispy. Notice that I also did non operate starchy potatoes inwards this recipe.
Do give this recipe a try, I bet that yous volition similar it!
