Palak Cutlet Recipe

Palak Cutlet gives a break from normal vegetarian cutlets, where potatoes and green peas are the main ingredients. You can try cutlets with different combos, and adding leafy vegetables adds nutritional value to the snack. Cutlets made using chopped palak leaves are worth a try.
