How To Make Mixed Vegetable Cutlet Gluten Free?

To make these cutlets 100% gluten-free skip adding breadcrumbs to the cutlet mixture. Instead, you can use grated paneer (cottage cheese) as a binder and a tablespoon of gram flour (besan) to coat the cutlets. Those who eat eggs can dip the cutlets in a whisked egg before frying for a crunchy exterior. And trust me on this, without breadcrumbs also, the vegetable cutlets turn out tasty.
