We are entering the 50th edition of blogging marathon this month and our India Marathoners had a grand celebration in Chennai for the 50th edition.Missed those fun filled meet and activities.
Coming to the theme this week I chose to share one ingredient and different category dishes.When I was going through my recipe index,I didn't share some of the basic vegetable recipes.So I decided to use beetroot,the colorful veggie as a key ingredient to make 3 dishes in different category.Today's recipe is cutlet which is my kiddo's favorite starter cum snack.I used some cooked vermicelli also along with the beetroot and potato.I shallow fried the cutlets if you want you can deep fry and serve.With no further delays lets move on to the recipe...........................
