HOW TO MAKE

• Heat 2 spoon oil in frying pan/kadhai. Add mustard seeds and let it crackle.
• Add curry leaves, green chillies and fry a little. 
• Add onion, green beans, carrot and saute till it turns little tender. Add all spices except salt and mix well. Remove this material in big mixing bowl
• Dip bread slices in water and squeeze. This is done just to moisten the slice. 
• Add moistened bread slices, potatoes, green peas, coriander leaves, lemon juice and salt to the vegetable mixture.
• Mix well with your hands. Take a small portion of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Give a shape of cutlet.
• Grease non sticky flat pan/ tawa with little oil and place cutlets on it. Keep flame slow. When one side of the cutlet turns golden, gently flip and fry the other side. Remove cutlets on a plate once you see an even golden color on the crust.

Serve hot cutlets with tomato ketchup or mint chutney. Enjoy healthy brown bread cutlets with hot tea, but of course not without family or friends :)
