Crunchy vegetable bread cutlets recipe Recipe type:   snacks Cuisine: I ndian Serves:  9 Servings I have shared quite a few  bread recipes  till now, primarily the  bread roll recipe  and  cheesy bread rolls recipe . This  veg bread cutlet recipe  follows the same procedure and ingredients. but in this recipe, the bread slices are mixed with vegetables rather than stuffing  inside the bread. These  crunchy vegetable bread cutlets  can also be used as patties and can be sandwiched between bread pav or burger pav. I personally prefer this way, but it tastes amazing by itself with  green chutney  or maggie  tomato ketchup . Ingredients: 4 bread slice, brown / white 2 potatoes, boiled & mashed ½ medium onion, finely chopped ½ capsicum, finely chopped 2 tbsp corn, boiled 1 green chilli, finely chopped 1 tsp ginger paste ¼ tsp turmeric / haldi ½ tsp kashmiri re...

Add the ground paste and required water,so that you get a non sticky dough.Keep covered at all the times. Use the murukku press with the plate with three round hole or the star hole plate   I usually grease 3-4 broad laddles and  press the murukku in the laddles             and just drop the made  murukkus in the hot oil.   This method is good for two reasons:i)to avoid the heat not to  affect your hands when you press directly in oil and     ii) to make  (hold) good shapes of the murukku.  ...
