How u go on making it...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. Wash, cut and boil all the vegetables.
2. In a non-stick pan add 2 tsp of veg' oil. Add the chopped onions and fry them till golden brown.
3. Add curry leaves along.
4. Add Ginger Garlic paste along with it and fry till the raw smell eases.(This step is optional)
5. Add all the cooked vegetables with the fried onion and keep frying all of them for 5mins in low flame.
6. Add a pinch of turmeric powder and 1 tsp of red chilli powder(amt depends on ur taste).
7.Add 1 tsp of Garam Masala along with the other powder (optional..)
8. Add salt according to ur taste.
9. Keep frying all these for certain time till the raw smell goes.
Keep this stuffing aside n let them cool down.

10. In a bowl add 1 tsp of Maida flour and mix this well with 10 tsp of water.

11. Toast the bread and make bread crumbs by grinding them.

12. Now make small balls using the veg stuff n flatten them. Dip this in the maida flour and then roll them in bread crumbs. Make 4-5 pieces and place them in a roasting sheet and place them in oven in 400F for 45mins or until gloden brown.
U can deep fry them in oil, as u like.
U can also turn balls into different shapes as u wish.

Veg Cutlet is ready. Serve with tomato sauce or pudin chutni.
