Soya Beetroot Kebab / Cutlet



Soya Beetroot Kebab is a shallow fried cutlet. Kebabs are prepared not only in India, but in different nations and in different ways using different techniques. Kebab is mostly a non veg preparation, skewed and uses grilling technique, but in India it can also be pan fried or baked. Cutlet is necessarily fried. This kebab can also be called a cutlet, as shallow frying technique is used. It can be served as an evening tea time snack or as starter or as a side dish to the meal.

I personally don't like beetroot, so thought of trying something different for a change. Added soya granules too in the preparation to make it more nutritious. I have given them a different shape by using 2 tablespoons. I remembered this technique of shaping shown by Chef Gautam Mehrishi in his cookery show. Shape is not important, but the taste. You can give it any shape, so here goes the recipe for the Soya Beetroot Kebab.
