Vegetarian food has never appealed to me, until now, that I realized how much important it is to have greens and veggies in a diet. I cannot go without meat and I’m trying to add some vegetarian food from now on. Hopefully!!
Starting from here I wanted to learn some vegetarian recipes so I intended on going with potatoes. Potato cutlets are my first try at home apart from making a non-veg cutlet, this turned out surprisingly delicious.” Yumm!” was what my husband exclaimed as he took a bite of it.
It could also be great to have for breakfast or a quick snack or on the menu of kid’s classics.
