Green Peas Cutlets

Green Peas Cutlets

Green Peas Cutlets are a easy to make snack or appetizer. They can be served as a party starter or can be enjoyed as a teatime snack too. Cutlets can be deep-fried or can be pan-fried, so in this recipe I pan-fried them to keep them light on tummy with no compromise in taste. So here I'm sharing a simple recipe for yummy cutlets, which will make your taste buds happy.
