Beetroot Cutlets by Sowmiya

This is one of the first few recipes I cooked after my marriage. The recipe was from a friend and the main ingredient is Beetroot which is of course very good for health including its anti- cancer effects.Ingredients:

Sombu - 1 tsp(For seasoning)
Onion - 1 Big
Chilli powder - 1 tsp(or little less for kids)
Salt - As required
Beetroot - 2 Big
Potato - 1 Medium
All purpose flour - 1/4 cup
Bread crumbs - abt 1/2 cup

Method:

1. Boil the Beetroot and the potato in the pressure cooker. Peel the skin and grate the beetroot. Mash the potatoes.
2. Add little oil in a kadai, add the sombu, when it changes colour add the onion and let it cook.
3. As soon as the onion gets cooked, add the beetroot, potato and salt and chilli powders.
4. Let it cook for a few minutes and remove from flame and let it cool down.
5. In the meantime, take the all purpose flour and add water and make it a thick paste.
6. Take a little of the cooked mix, make a ball and flatten it out on your palm, dip both sides in the flour paste and then in the bread crumbs and place it in a hot pan. Add very little oil as you would for a dosa. Let it cook on both sides and serve hot with ketchup.
