SOYA VEG CUTLETS

Soya Veg Cutlet

Yes! I am huge fan of soya. I try to implement soya recipes atleast once in a week of our daily diet. Its said to be very nutritious and also high in protein. I found that this cutlet is one way to get my kiddo to eat more. After all if kids eat good food, moms are even more happier. What more you want :)...

If you are not health conscious deep fry the cutlets. It will be more tastier.
