Broccoli Carrot Oats Cutlets is a healthy, tasty, and soft yet crunchy cutlets made with broccoli, carrot, and oats for a perfect tea time snack. Serve it with kiwi coriander chutney and adrak elaichi wali chai or as an appetizer for your dinner parties or it can be a great afternoon snack for kids or can even be packed in lunch boxes.

These yummy cutlets are tossed cutlets with flax seeds. Flax seeds bring that missing crunch and make it tastier. You can stuff cutlets with little cheese piece or chopped roasted peanuts, cashew, or raisins for extra crunch. I made little bit changes to make cutlets healthier. Instead of deep-frying, I roasted on tawa with little oil.

Oats are packed with nutrients like healthy carbs and fiber. One of the most unique and unusual ways of using oats within the kitchen is as a binder for when you are making aloo tikki or cutlets.

Once the oats are exposed to moisture, they create a binding power to vegetables and spices. The oats also help set the cutlets as they bake, making for a more tender and less crumbly patty. Replacing cornstarch or maida with oats gives you a healthy option.

This step is completely optional, but I love to have plain yogurt which adds the creamy flavor it adds to this snack. It also settles the heat from the chutneys and gives it a nice taste altogether.
