Monsoon soon approaching Mumbai and it is one of my favorite times in the city. There is something about Mumbai rains that makes it more special. And nothing beats hot-spicy snacks with a hot cup of strong filter coffee on rainy days. Since I’m going the healthy way I’ll be coming up with lot of baked, nutritious and tasty snacks this monsoon.
To start with, this one is a baked cutlet with variety of root vegetables like carrot, potato, sweet potato and beet root along with black chick peas. Beet root gives a bright color to the cutlets. My little one loved it. This is a good way to feed fussy kids. You can use different cookie cutters to give your cutlets shape to make it attractive for your kids.
