Sweet potato cutlet recipe

Sweet potato cutlet | sakkara valli kizhangu cutlet recipe with video and step by step pictures. Cutlets are always loved by everyone at my place. Though i make it rarely,but whenever i make, i make Potato cutlet only. Last year, when i posted sweet potato chaat itself, i planned to post the sweet potato cutlet recipe. Finally i tried sweet potato cutlet today and i loved it very much. The sweetness of the potato with the flavor of the spices added, complimented the cutlet so well. I am sure this is a perfect tea time snack for a rainy day evening, along with a cup of hot ginger tea.
     Generally sweet potato cutlet is made during fasting days. But i didn't make it as a no onion no garlic version.

  2. As sweet potato is bit sweeter, the red chili powder will be perfect enough to balance the taste.
  3. You can use cookie cutters to shape the sweet potato cutlets.
