Mixed vegetable cutlet is the easiest way to add vegetable of your choice into your little one’s tiffin box. You can sneak in all kind of vegetables which your child makes faces to eat. The choice of vegetable is totally yours, the ultimate goal is to make healthy toddler Tiffin recipes. In this recipe, I have used red cabbages instead of regular cabbages. Red cabbages help to improve digestion and is an excellent source of vitamin K and C.

Tips
- You can also pressure cook all the vegetable for 1-2 whistles and then prepare vegetable cutlets. I avoided this step because all the vegetables which I used could be eaten in raw form.
- I used milk and corn flour paste to dip the cutlets, you can replace it with rice flour and water.
- You can replace ghee with oil. If you are preparing it for kids, I would suggest you make use of ghee or gingelly oil.
- You can add vegetable of your choice while preparing mix vegetable cutlets. Adding paneer /tofu will make these a healthy lunchbox for kids.
