Vegetable Cutlet is a snack, appetiser and also a Indian roadside food. It is crisp from outside and soft from inside and one of the best evening tea time snack.

We have cooked vegetables like potatoes, fansi, carrots and cabbage in oil and perked it up with spices and other flavourful ingredients. Then Vegetable Cutlets are flattened into small rounds and either deep-fried or shallow-fried in a tava with little oil, to make irresistibly tasty cutlets!

Cutlet is an snack which is originated from India and it is also known as Tikki. There are many variations to cutlets. You can make Vegetable Cutlets with paneer, green peas, beetroot or any vegetable. Check our collection of vegetable cutlet recipes and popular Brinjal Cutlets and Vegetable Maggi Cutlets recipes.

Vegetable Cutlet is also a very famous for being served in Indian railways with breads. It can be put inside a burger bun and eaten directly with ketchup or chutney. Check the Indian Railways Cutlet Sandwich recipe.

You can serve Vegetable Cutlet to your kid who don't like vegetables, as the cutlet is eye appealing. My favourite recipe using this Vegetable Cutlet is Veggie Burger.
