To make the perfect vegetable cutlets, start by choosing your vegetables. You can use any combination of veggies, but potato makes a great base for binding. For added protein, try adding soya granules or paneer/cottage cheese.

Other great veggies to use in your cutlets include cauliflower, broccoli, and capsicum. To cook the veggies, simply steam them in a pressure cooker. Once they're cooked, mix them with boiled potatoes and shape them into cutlets.
