Potato cutlets- a very simple and most popular variety of vegetarian cutlets from India. Last weekend we visited our friends Ruchi and Sushil and they had made these cutlets for us with tea. These cutlets reminded me of Kanpur . When we were there we used to make these cutlets often in monsoon. I was surprised to see that these cutlets were not here in the website so here they are for my readers. Thanks Ruchi for bringign back the taste of home!!!
